13. I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
14. Give them—Lord what will you give?Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15. “All their wickedness is in Gilgal;for there I hated them.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 struck.Their root has dried up.They will bear no fruit.Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”
17. My God will cast them away, because they didn’t listen to him;and they will be wanderers amongst the nations.
