Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! (9:12) Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer (9:13) Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts (9:14) All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters (9:15) Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb (9:16) My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations
(9:17)
