Ephraim shall become a desolation
    in the day of punishment;
among the tribes of Israel
    I make known what is sure.

(A)But my words and my statutes, which I commanded (B)my servants the prophets, did they not (C)overtake your fathers? So they repented and said, (D)‘As the Lord of hosts purposed to deal with us for (E)our ways and (F)deeds, so has he dealt with us.’”

11 Ephraim's (A)glory shall fly away like a bird—
    (B)no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 (C)Even if they bring up children,
    I will bereave them till none is left.
(D)Woe to them
    when (E)I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, (F)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
    but (G)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
14 Give them, O Lord
    what will you give?
Give them (H)a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.

15 Every evil of theirs is in (I)Gilgal;
    there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
    I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
    all (J)their princes are (K)rebels.

16 Ephraim is stricken;
    (L)their root is dried up;
    they shall bear no fruit.
Even (M)though they give birth,
    (N)I will put their beloved children to death.
17 (O)My God will reject them
    because they have not listened to him;
    (P)they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem

28 Ah, the proud crown of (A)the drunkards of Ephraim,
    and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
Behold, the Lord has (B)one who is mighty and strong;
    like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like (C)a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
    he casts down to the earth with his hand.
(D)The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
    will be trodden underfoot;
(E)and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like (F)a first-ripe fig[a] before the summer:
    when someone sees it, he swallows it
    as soon as it is in his hand.

The Lord's Relentless Judgment on Israel

13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
    (A)he was exalted in Israel,
    but he incurred guilt (B)through Baal and died.
And now they sin more and more,
    and (C)make for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
    (D)all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
    “Those who offer human sacrifice (E)kiss calves!”
Therefore they shall be (F)like the morning mist
    or (G)like the dew that goes early away,
(H)like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
