Hosea 9:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

The Israelites Will Have No Children

¹¹ “Like a bird, Ephraim’s glory will fly away. There will be no more pregnancies, no more births, and no more babies. ¹² But even if the Israelites do raise their children, it will not help, because I will take the children away from them. I will leave them, and they will have nothing but troubles.”

¹³ I can see that Ephraim is leading his children into a trap. Ephraim will lead his children out to the killer.
