Jeremiah 18:21
New King James Version
21 Therefore (A)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And (B)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
Hosea 9:12-16
New King James Version
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, (A)woe to them when I depart from them!
13 Just (B)as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
14 Give them, O Lord—
What will You give?
Give them (C)a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
15 “All their wickedness is in (D)Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
(E)All their princes are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is (F)stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”
