Hosea 9:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird—
    no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
¹² Even if they were to bear children,
    I will take away from them every single one.
Woe to them
    when I turn away from them!
¹³ Ephraim once seemed to me like Tyre,
    planted in a beautiful meadow.
But now Ephraim will be required
    to lead out his children for slaughter.
