11 As for Ephraim, their aglory 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 not a man is left.
Surely, awoe to them indeed when I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, as I have seen,
Is planted in a pasture like aTyre;
But Ephraim will bring out his children for killing.
14 Give them, O Yahweh—what will You give?
Give them a amiscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15 All their evil is at aGilgal;
Indeed, I came to hate them there!
Because of the bevil of their deeds
I will drive them out of My house!
I will love them no more;
All their princes are crebels.
16 aEphraim is stricken; their root is dried up;
They will bear bno fruit.
Even though they bear children,
I will put to death the cdesirable ones of their womb.
17 My God will despise them
Because they have anot listened to Him;
And they will be bthose who flee among the nations.
