Hosea 9:11-17

Hosea 9:11-17

[11] As for Ephraim,  their glory  shall fly away  like a bird,  from the birth,  and from the womb,  and from the conception.  [12] Though they bring up  their children,  yet will I bereave  them, that there shall not be a man  left: yea, woe  also to them when I depart  from them! [13] Ephraim,  as I saw  Tyrus,  is planted  in a pleasant place:  but Ephraim  shall bring forth  his children  to the murderer.  [14] Give  them, O LORD:  what wilt thou give?  them a miscarrying  womb  and dry  breasts.  [15] All their wickedness  is in Gilgal:  for there I hated  them: for the wickedness  of their doings  I will drive them out  of mine house,  I will love  them no more:  all their princes  are revolters.  [16] Ephraim  is smitten,  their root  is dried up,  no fruit:  yea, though they bring forth,  yet will I slay  even the beloved  fruit of their womb.  [17] My God  will cast them away,  because they did not hearken  unto him: and they shall be wanderers  among the nations.
