Though he be fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come, the breath of LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up. He shall make spoil of the treasure of all go

Ephraim is hewn down, their root is dried up, so that they shall bring no more fruit: yea and though they bring forth any, yet will I slay even the best beloved fruit of their body.

Give them, O Yahweh - what wilt thou give? Give them, a miscarrying womb, and breasts dried up.

Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as in the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.

I took diligent heed of thee in the wilderness, that dry land.

Therefore I am like a moth to Ephraim
And like dry rot to the house of Judah [in My judgment against them].
