*
E '
phraim '
s glory shall fly away like a bird--no birth ,
no pregnancy ,
no conception !
*
Even if they bring up children ,
I will bereave them till none is left .
Woe to them when I depart from them !
*
E '
phraim '
s sons ,
as I have seen ,
are destined for a prey ;
E '
phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter .
*
Give them ,
O LORD--what wilt thou give ?
Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts .
*
Every evil of theirs is in 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 their princes are rebels .
*
E '
phraim is stricken ,
their root is dried up ,
they shall bear no fruit .
Even though they bring forth ,
I will slay their beloved children .
*
My God will cast them off ,
because they have not hearkened to him ;
they shall be wanderers among the nations .
