Hosea 9:11-17
Legacy Standard Bible
11 As for Ephraim, their (A)glory will fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them [a]until not a man is left.
Surely, (B)woe to them indeed when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, as I have seen,
Is planted in a pasture like (C)Tyre;
But Ephraim will bring out his children for killing.
14 Give them, O Yahweh—what will You give?
Give them a [b](D)miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their evil is at (E)Gilgal;
Indeed, I came to hate them there!
Because of the (F)evil of their deeds
I will drive them out of My house!
I will love them no more;
All their princes are (G)rebels.
16 (H)Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up;
They will bear (I)no fruit.
Even though they bear children,
I will put to death the (J)desirable ones of their womb.
17 My God will despise them
Because they have (K)not listened to Him;
And they will be (L)those who flee among the nations.

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)
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)
Even if they bear children,
I will slay(Q) their cherished offspring.”
