Hosea 9:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² Even though they bring up their children,
    I will bereave them before maturity.^[a]
Woe to them indeed,
    when I depart from them!
¹³ Ephraim, as I see it,
    is like a palm in a meadow;
but Ephraim must bring out
    his children to the slayer.
¹⁴ Give them, O Yahweh—
    what will you give them?
Give them a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.
