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.
16. Ephraim is struck down;their roots are withered;they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children,I will kill the precious offspring of their wombs.
17. My God will reject thembecause they have not listened to Him; they will become wanderers among the nations.
