Hosea 13:15-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ No matter if you prosper
    more than the other tribes,^[a]
I, the Lord, will wipe you out,
just as a scorching desert wind
    dries up streams of water.
I will take away
    your precious treasures.
¹⁶ Samaria^[b] will be punished
    for turning against me.
It will be destroyed in war—
children will be beaten
    against rocks,
and pregnant women
    will be ripped open.
