But Ephraim will lead their children out to be slaughtered. 14 Give them, LORD—what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry. 15 All their wickedness is at Gilgal, for there I began to hate them. Because of their evil deeds, I will drive them from My house.

Even if they give birth, I will kill their cherished offspring. 17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; they will become wanderers among the nations.
