Hosea 9:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.
In context
14 Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!
15 All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.
17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
