When they went to Baal-peor, they devoted themselves to that filth, and they became loathsome, like what they loved. 11 The glory of Ephraim will fly away like a bird no birth, no pregnancy, not even a conception. 12 Even if they rear their children, I will, in turn, make them childless in fact, woe to them when I turn away from them!
