12 But if they shall bring up their sons and I bereaved them from man: but also wo to them in my departing from them. 13 Ephraim, as I saw for Tyre, was planted in a habitation: and Ephraim to bring forth his sons to him slaying. 14 Give to them, O Jehovah: what wilt thou give? give to them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. 15 All their wickedness in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the evil of their doings I will drive them out from my house, I will not add to love them: all their chiefs are turning away. 16 Ephraim was smitten, their root was dried up, they shall not make fruit: also if they shall bring forth, and I destroyed the desires of their womb. 17 God will reject them, for they heard not to him: and they will be wandering about among the nations.
