Hosea 9:11-14

English Standard Version

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.
