Hosea 9:16
New King James Version
16 Ephraim is (A)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.”
Hosea 9:11-13
New King James Version
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.”

And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
