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.

his well will become dry.

That wind will spoil all his delightful foods

in the containers in his storehouse.
