Hosea 9:11-14

New International Version

¹¹ Ephraim’s glory^(A) will fly away like a bird^(B)—
    no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.^(C)
12 Even if they rear children,
    I will bereave^(D) them of every one.
Woe^(E) to them
    when I turn away from them!^(F)
13 I have seen Ephraim,^(G) like Tyre,
    planted in a pleasant place.^(H)
But Ephraim will bring out
    their children to the slayer.”^(I)

¹⁴ Give them, Lord—
    what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
    and breasts that are dry.^(J)
