11. As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird- No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!
12. Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left. Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!
13. Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
14. Give them, O Lord-what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15. All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.
16. Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will bear no fruit. Even though they bear children, I will slay the precious ones of their womb.
17. My God will cast them away Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.
