Hosea 9:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
In context
10 I 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.
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
12 Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
14 Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!
