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. 15 All their wickednesse is done at Gilgall, there do I abhorre them: for the vngratiousnesse of their owne inuentions I wyll driue them out of my house, I wyll loue them no more, for all their princes are vnfaithfull. 16 Ephraim is hewen downe, their roote is dried vp, so that they shall bryng no more fruite: yea and though they bryng foorth any, yet wyll I slay euen the best beloued of their body. 17 My God shall cast them away, for they haue not ben obedient vnto him, therfore shall they wander among the heathen.
