15 All of their wickedness had its root in Gilgal;[a]
    it was there that I came to hate them.
Because of their evil deeds,
    I will drive them out of my house.
I will no longer love them;
    all of their rulers are rebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
    their root is withered,
    and they yield no fruit.
Even if they bring forth children,
    I will slay the cherished offspring of their womb.
17 My God will cast them off
    because they have not listened to him;
    they will become wanderers among the nations.
