Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them to the last man. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
13
Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place, So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer."
14
Give them, O Lord-- What will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb And dry breasts!
15
"All their wickedness is in Gilgal, For there I hated them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them from My house; I will love them no more. All their princes are rebellious.
16
Ephraim is stricken, Their root is dried up; They shall bear no fruit. Yes, were they to bear children, I would kill the darlings of their womb."
17
My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
