Hosea 9:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ Give them, Lord—
    What will you give?
        You will give them a womb that miscarries and dry breasts.

¹⁵ “All of their wickedness started^[a] in Gilgal,
    because I began to hate them there.
Because of the wickedness of their behavior,
    I will drive them from my Temple.
I will not love them anymore;
    all their leaders are rebels.
¹⁶ Ephraim is blighted;^[b]
    its roots shriveled.
        It can bear no fruit.
Even if they bear children,
    I will kill their cherished offspring.
