Hosea 9:10-17 - Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring
10 I found Israel as grapes in the desert; as the first fruit in the fig-tree in her beginning I saw your fathers: they went to Baal-Peor, and they will separate themselves to shame, and their abominable things will be according to their love. 11 Ephraim shall fly away as a bird, their glory of birth and of the womb and of conception. 12 But if they shall bring up their sons and I bereaved them from man: but also wo to them in my departing from them. 13 Ephraim, as I saw for Tyre, was planted in a habitation: and Ephraim to bring forth his sons to him slaying. 14 Give to them, O Jehovah: what wilt thou give? give to them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the evil of their doings I will drive them out from my house, I will not add to love them: all their chiefs are turning away. 16 Ephraim was smitten, their root was dried up, they shall not make fruit: also if they shall bring forth, and I destroyed the desires of their womb. 17 God will reject them, for they heard not to him: and they will be wandering about among the nations.
