11 Ephraim's (A)glory shall fly away like a bird—
    (B)no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
12 (C)Even if they bring up children,
    I will bereave them till none is left.
(D)Woe to them
    when (E)I depart from them!
13 Ephraim, (F)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
    but (G)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
