11. Israel’s glory will fly away like a bird;there will be no more pregnancy, no more births, no more getting pregnant.
12. But even if the Israelites bring up children,I will take them all away.How terrible it will be for themwhen I go away from them!
13. I have seen Israel, like Tyre,given a pleasant place.But the people of Israel will soon bring outtheir children to be killed.”
14. Lord, give them what they should have.What will you give them?Make their women unable to have children;give them dried-up breasts that cannot feed their babies.
15. “The Israelites were very wicked in Gilgal,so I have hated them there.Because of the sinful things they have done,I will force them to leave my land.I will no longer love them;their leaders have turned against me.
