11 Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: for birth, for wombe, and conception.

12 And though they bryng vp children, yet I wyll destroy them before they be men: Yea wo shall come to them when I depart from them.

13 Ephraim (as me thinke) is planted in a pleasaunt place, like as is Tyrus: but nowe must she bryng her owne children foorth to the manslayer.

14 O Lorde geue them: what shalt thou geue them? Geue them an vnfruitfull wombe, and drye breastes.
