Hosea 9:12
Berean Standard Bible
Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
Context
10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
I saw your fathers as the firstfruits
of the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to Baal-peor,
and consecrated themselves to Shame;
so they became as detestable
as the thing they loved. 11Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird,
with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception. 12Even if they raise their children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe be to them
when I turn away from them! 13I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre,
planted in a meadow.
But Ephraim will bring out
his children for slaughter. 14Give them, O LORD—
what will You give?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that dry up!
