Contemporary English Version
Hosea 9:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 Israel, when I first met you,
I thought of you as palm trees
growing in fertile ground.[a]
Now you lead your people out,
only to be slaughtered.
Hosea's Advice
14 Our Lord, do just one thing
for your people—
make their women unable
to have children
or to nurse their babies.
The Lord's Judgment on Israel
15 Israel, I first began
to hate you because
you did evil at Gilgal.[b]
Now I will chase you
out of my house.
No longer will I love you;
your leaders betrayed me.
