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 9:12 | Hosea 9:14 >> |
