Hosea 9:11-17

11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception! 12For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them! 13Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer. 14Give them, Jehovah — what wilt thou give? — give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 15All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious. 16Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb. 17My 1God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
