Hosea 9:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ Give them, Eternal One—what should I ask You to give them?
    Give them a miscarrying womb and dried-up breasts!

¹⁵ Eternal One: In Gilgal My hatred grew for them
        because of all their evil that was there.
    I will force them out of My temple because of the depths of their wickedness.
        I won’t love them anymore; all of their leaders have rebelled against Me!

¹⁶     Ephraim has been cut down; their root has dried up,
        and they won’t bear any fruit.
    And even if they do bear children,
        I’ll kill those precious ones they carried.
