11As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird—
         No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!

12Though they bring up their children,
         Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left.
         Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

13Ephraim, as I have seen,
         Is planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre;
         But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

14Give them, O LORD—what will You give?
         Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

15All their evil is at Gilgal;
         Indeed, I came to hate them there!
         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.

16Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up,
         They will bear no fruit.
         Even though they bear children,
         I will slay the precious ones of their womb.

17My God will cast them away
         Because they have not listened to Him;
         And they will be wanderers among the nations.
