15 They take up all of them with a hook,
They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore (A)they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is [a]sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net,
And continue to slay nations without pity?

and burns incense(D) to his dragnet,
for by his net he lives in luxury

17 Is he to keep on emptying his net,
destroying nations without mercy?(E)

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, (A)woe to them when I depart from them!
13 Just (B)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 (C)a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
15 “All their wickedness is in (D)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.
(E)All their princes are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is (F)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 (G)cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be (H)wanderers among the nations.

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)
15 “Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal,(K)
I hated them there.
Because of their sinful deeds,(L)
I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;(M)
all their leaders are rebellious.(N)
16 Ephraim(O) is blighted,
their root is withered,
they yield no fruit.(P)

12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying,
Thus says the Lord God of your father David:
Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have (A)made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to (B)play the harlot like the (C)harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have (D)killed your brothers, those of your father’s household, who were better than yourself, 14 behold, the Lord will strike your people with a serious affliction—your children, your wives, and all your possessions; 15 and you will become very sick with a (E)disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day.

12 Jehoram received a letter from Elijah(A) the prophet, which said:
“This is what the Lord, the God of your father(B) David, says: ‘You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa(C) king of Judah. 13 But you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and you have led Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab did.(D) You have also murdered your own brothers, members of your own family, men who were better(E) than you. 14 So now the Lord is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives and everything that is yours, with a heavy blow. 15 You yourself will be very ill with a lingering disease(F) of the bowels, until the disease causes your bowels to come out.’”
