15 “The Israelites were very wicked in Gilgal [C a center of false worship in Israel; 4:15],
    so I have hated them there.
Because of the sinful things they have done,
    I will ·force them to leave [drive them out of] my land.
I will no longer love them;
    their ·leaders [princes] ·have turned against me [are rebels/rebellious].
16 ·Israel [L Ephraim] is ·beaten down [struck down; or blighted];
    its root is ·dying [withered; dried up], and it ·has [bears] no fruit.
If they have more children,
    I will kill the ·children they love [L cherished offspring of their womb].”

17 My God will reject them,
    because they have not obeyed him;
they will ·wander [be wanderers/fugitives] among the nations.
