Hosea 9:12-17

¹²Even if they raise their children,

I will bereave them of each one.

Yes, woe be to them

when I turn away from them!

¹³I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre,

planted in a meadow.

But Ephraim will bring out

his children for slaughter.

¹⁴Give them, O LORD —

what will You give?

Give them wombs that miscarry

and breasts that dry up!

¹⁵All their evil appears at Gilgal,

for there I hated them.

I will drive them from My house

for the wickedness of their deeds.

I will no longer love them;

all their leaders are rebellious.

¹⁶Ephraim is struck down;

their root is withered;

they cannot bear fruit.

Even if they bear children,

I will slay the darlings of their wombs.

¹⁷My God will reject them

because they have not obeyed Him;

and they shall be wanderers

among the nations.
