13 Ephraim, (A)as I have seen, was like a young palm[a] planted in a meadow;
    but (B)Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.[b]
14 Give them, O Lord
    what will you give?
Give them (C)a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.

15 Every evil of theirs is in (D)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 (E)their princes are (F)rebels.
