Hosea:9:12-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Though they bring up their children ,
yet will I bereave them ,
that there shall not be a man left :
yea ,
woe also to them when I depart from them !
*
Ephraim ,
as I saw Tyrus ,
is planted in a pleasant place :
but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer .
*
Give them ,
O LORD :
what wilt thou give ?
give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts .
*
All their wickedness is in Gilgal :
for there I hated them :
for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house ,
I will love them no more :
all their princes are revolters .
*
Ephraim is smitten ,
their root is dried up ,
they shall bear no fruit :
yea ,
though they bring forth ,
yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb .
*
My God will cast them away ,
because they did not hearken unto him :
and they shall be wanderers among the nations .
