Hosea 9:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 O Lord, give them: what wilt thou give them? give them a [a]barren womb and dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in [b]Gilgal: for there do I hate them: for the wickedness of their inventions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will love them no more: all their princes are rebels.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up: they can bring no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the dearest of their body.
