Hosea 9:13

¹¹ Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.

¹² Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!

I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

¹⁴ Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!

¹⁵ All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
