Hosea 9:16-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁶ E′phraim is stricken,
    their root is dried up,
    they shall bear no fruit.
Even though they bring forth,
    I will slay their beloved children.
¹⁷ My God will cast them off,
    because they have not hearkened to him;
    they shall be wanderers among the nations.
