Hosea 9:13
Compare all
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, awoe to them when I depart from them! 
13 Just aas I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.” 
14 Give them, O Lord—
What will You give?
Give them aa miscarrying womb
And dry breasts! 
15 “All their wickedness is in aGilgal,
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.

Hosea 9:13

Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus - Tyre was strongly situated on a rock in the sea; Samaria was on a mountain, both strong and pleasant. But the strength and beauty of those cities shall not save them from destruction.

Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer - The people shall be destroyed, or led into captivity by the Assyrians. Of the grandeur, wealth, power, etc., of Tyre, see the notes on Ezekiel 27 (note) and Ezekiel 28 (note).
