11 Ephraim will be like a bird; what they value will fly away. They will not bear children--they will not enjoy pregnancy--they will not even conceive! 12 Even if they raise their children, I will take away every last one of them. Woe to them! For I will turn away from them. 13 Just as lion cubs are born predators, so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter. 14 Give them, O LORD--what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry, and breasts that cannot nurse! Hosea 9:11-14, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
