Exegesis
The final Piel imperfect yeshasseh {יְשַׁסֶּה | ye·šasseh} ‘he will plunder’ governs otzar kol keli chemdah {אוֹצָר כָּל־כְּלִי חֶמְדָּה | ʾō·ṣār kol kə·lî ḥem·dâ} ‘treasure of every precious vessel’. The cascade of vav-imperfects underscores the inevitability of divine judgment, and the contrast between initial fruitfulness and subsequent desolation highlights the dramatic reversal.
In context — Hosea 13:15
For though he thrives among his brothers, an east wind—the wind of the LORD —will come up from the wilderness. It will dry up his spring , and his fountain will be parched; it will strip away every precious treasure from his storehouse.
