The King James Version Bible

Hosea 9:13-17

  1. Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

  2. Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

  3. All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

  4. Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

  5. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
