Hosea 9:11-17 Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception. ¹² For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved. Wherefore also there is woe to them, though My flesh is of them. ¹³ Ephraim, even as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yes, Ephraim was ready to bring out his children to slaughter. ¹⁴ Give them, O Lord: what will you give them? A miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness is in Gilgal. For there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of My house, I will not love them anymore; all their princes are disobedient. ¹⁶ Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall by no means bear fruit any longer. For even if they should beget children, I will kill the desired fruit of their womb. ¹⁷ God shall reject them, because they have not hearkened to Him, and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
