Hosea 9:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Though they bring up children,
        I will make them childless
        until no one is left.
    Doom to them indeed when I leave them!
¹³ When I looked toward Tyre,
    Ephraim was planted in a lovely meadow;
        but now Ephraim must lead out his children for slaughter.
¹⁴ Give them, Lord—
        what will you give them?
    Give them a womb that miscarries
        and breasts that are dried up.
