15 Though Ephraim[a] may flourish among his brothers,

    and leave his fountain dry.
It will loot his treasury
    of every precious thing.

  1. 13:15 Although “Ephraim” is not explicitly mentioned in the text (the Hebrew text has the word “he”), the wordplay with the Hebrew word for “flourish” (yaphrî’) suggests the use of “Ephraim” in the translation. Wind: possibly Assyria.
