Context
The Capital of the Northern Empire Will Be Destroyed
13:15 Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, a scorching east wind will come , a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert . As a result, his spring will dry up ; his well will become dry . That wind will spoil all his delightful foods in the containers in his storehouse . 13:16 Samaria will be held guilty , because she rebelled against her God . They will fall by the sword , their infants will be dashed to the ground – their pregnant women will be ripped open .
