Context of Hosea 9:15
13I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place. But the people of Ephraim will bring out their children to be killed.” 14Lord, give them what they deserve. Make the women miscarry, or else make them unable to nurse their babies. “All Ephraim’s wickedness began in Gilgal; I hated the people there. I will force them out of my temple because of their wickedness, and I won’t love them anymore. All their officials are rebellious. 16“The people of Ephraim are like sick plants. Their roots are dried up. They have no fruit. Even if they were to have children, I would kill their dear children.” 17My God will reject them because they refused to listen to him. They will wander among the nations.
