Hosea 9:11-17
11Ephraim’s aglory shall fly away like a bird—bno birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 cEven if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
dWoe to them
when eI depart from them!
13Ephraim, fas I have seen, was like a young palm ▼
▼Or like Tyre
planted in a meadow;but hEphraim must lead his children out to slaughter. ▼
▼Hebrew to him who slaughters
14Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them ja miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in kGilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all ltheir princes are mrebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
ntheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even othough they give birth,
pI will put their beloved children to death.
17 qMy God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
rthey shall be wanderers among the nations.
