Hosea 9:15

Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring

¹⁴
Give them [the punishment they deserve], O Lord! What will You give?
Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. ¹⁵ 
All their wickedness [says the Lord] is focused in Gilgal;
Indeed, I came to hate them there!
Because of the wickedness of their [idolatrous] practices
I will drive them out of My house (the land of Israel)!
I will love them no longer;
All their princes are rebels.
¹⁶
Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up,
They will bear no fruit.
Even though they give birth,
I will slay the precious children of their womb.

Drive Them Out

In the furrows of the fields.
