Hosea 9:11 - 9:17

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird—

No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!

Though they bring up their children,

Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left.

Surely, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

Ephraim, as I have seen,

Is planted in a pasture like Tyre;

But Ephraim will bring out his children for killing.

Give them, O Yahweh—what will You give?

Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

All their evil is at Gilgal;

Indeed, I came to hate them there!

Because of the evil of their deeds

I will drive them out of My house!

I will love them no more;

All their princes are rebels.

Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up;

They will bear no fruit.

Even though they bear children,

I will put to death the desirable ones of their womb.

My God will despise them

Because they have not listened to Him;

And they will be those who flee among the nations.
