Hosea 9:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them until no one is left.
Woe to them indeed
when I depart from them!(A)
13 Once I saw Ephraim as a young palm planted in a lovely meadow,[a]
but now Ephraim must lead out his children for slaughter.(B)
14 Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
