As in the days of bGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
Like grapes in the awilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the bfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to cBaal Peor,
And1 separated themselves to that shame;
dThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, awoe to them when I depart from them!
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
bAll their princes are rebellious.
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”

Hosea 9:11
their glory shall fly away—fit retribution to those who "separated themselves unto that shame" (Hosea 9:10). Children were accounted the glory of parents; sterility, a reproach. "Ephraim" means "fruitfulness" (Genesis 41:52); this its name shall cease to be its characteristic.
from the birth . . . womb . . . conception—Ephraim's children shall perish in a threefold gradation; (1) From the time of birth. (2) From the time of pregnancy. (3) From the time of their first conception.
