Hosea 9:11-17

11Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird: no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.

12Even if they raise children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

13I have seen Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a meadow, so Ephraim will bring out his children to the executioner.

14Give them, Lord  — What should you give? Give them a womb that miscarries and breasts that are dry!

15All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my house because of their evil, wicked actions. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.

16Ephraim is struck down; their roots are withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will kill the precious offspring of their wombs.

17My God will reject them because they have not listened to him; they will become wanderers among the nations.
