Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, The breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; And his spring will become dry, And his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
"The breath of Jehovah coming from the wilderness ..." It is Yahweh's wind, because it is Yahweh himself who executes the judgment pronounced, Assyria being the instrument."[36]
