Psalms 81:12

12So I agave them over to their bstubborn hearts,
to follow their own ccounsels.

Isaiah 40:24

24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
when he blows on them, and they wither,
dand the tempest carries them off like stubble.

Hosea 9:11-12

11Ephraim’s eglory shall fly away like a bird
fno birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 gEven if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
hWoe to them
when iI depart from them!

Hosea 9:16-17

16 Ephraim is stricken;
jtheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even kthough they give birth,
lI will put their beloved children to death.
17 mMy God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
nthey shall be wanderers among the nations.
