12 »Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them until no man is left. Yes, woe to them even when I depart from them!
13 »I have seen Ephraim planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.«
14 Give them, O Jehovah what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 »All Ephraim's wickedness began in Gilgal. I hated the people there. I will force them out of my Temple because of their wickedness. I will not love them anymore. All their officials are rebellious.
16 »The people of Ephraim are like sick plants. Their roots are dried up. They have no fruit. Even if they were to have children, I would kill their dear children.«
