11. Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird: no birth, no gestation, no conception.
12. Even if they raise children,I will bereave them of each one.Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
13. I have seen Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a meadow,so Ephraim will bring out his childrento the executioner.
14. Give them, Lord —What should You give?Give them a womb that miscarriesand breasts that are dry!
15. All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I came to hate them.I will drive them from My housebecause of their evil, wicked actions. I will no longer love them;all their leaders are rebellious.
