Hosea 9:10-17 - Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season. But they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that w 11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird. There shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception. 12 Though they bring up their sons, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! 13 Ephraim, just as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place, but Ephraim shall bring out his sons to the slayer. 14 Give them, O LORD--what will thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. All their rulers are rebels. 16 Ephraim is smitten. Their root is dried up. They shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved fruit of their womb. 17 My God will cast them away because they did not hearken to him, and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
