Context Reading
11As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception. 12Though they bring up their children,yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left.Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them! 13I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place;but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer. 14Give them — Yahweh what will you give?Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 15“All their wickedness is in Gilgal;for there I hated 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.
