Context Readings

Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. They came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame. They became as detestable as that which they loved. 11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!
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!
