Hosea 9:12-16

12Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them of their children 1until not a person is left. Yes, 2woe to them indeed when I depart from them!13Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pasture like 3Tyre; But Ephraim is going to bring out his children for slaughter.14Give to them, Lord--what will You give? Give them a 4miscarrying womb and dried-up breasts.

15All their evil is at 5Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the 6wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will no longer love them; All their leaders are 7rebels.16 8Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will produce 9no fruit. Even though they give birth to children, I will put to death the 10precious ones of their womb.
