Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring

10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover. 11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, no birth, no pregnancy, no conception! 12 For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that not a man remain: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
