Hosea 9:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴Give them, O Lord—
what wilt thou give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.

¹⁵Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal;
    there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
    I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
    all their princes are rebels.

¹⁶E′phraim is stricken,
    their root is dried up,
    they shall bear no fruit.
Even though they bring forth,
    I will slay their beloved children.
