12 Yea, though they bring up their children, Yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left; Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! 13 Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; But Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer. 14 Give them, O LORD, whatsoever Thou wilt give; Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal, For there I hated them; Because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, All their princes are rebellious. 16 Ephraim is smitten, Their root is dried up, They shall bear no fruit; Yea, though they bring forth, Yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb. 17 My God will cast them away, Because they did not hearken unto Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
