Hosea 9:11-17

11 As for Ephraim, their ^aglory will fly away like a bird--
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them of their children ^{▼▼Lit without a person}until not a person is left.
Yes, ^cwoe to them indeed when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, as I have seen,
Is planted in a pasture like ^dTyre;
But Ephraim is going to bring out his children for slaughter.
14 Give to them, Lord --what will You give?
Give them a ^emiscarrying womb and dried-up breasts.

15 All their evil is at ^fGilgal;
Indeed, I came to hate them there!
Because of the ^gwickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of My house!
I will no longer love them;
All their leaders are ^hrebels.
16 ⁱEphraim is stricken, their root is dried up,
They will produce ^jno fruit.
Even though they give birth to children,
I will put to death the ^kprecious ones of their womb.
17 My God will reject them
Because they have ^lnot listened to Him;
And they will be ^mwanderers among the nations.
