Contemporary English Version
Hosea 9:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 And so, Israel, your glory
will fly away like birds—
your women will no longer
be able to give birth.
12 Even if you do have children,
I will take them all
and leave you to mourn.
I will turn away,
and you will sink down
in deep trouble.
13 Israel, when I first met you,
I thought of you as palm trees
growing in fertile ground.[a]
Now you lead your people out,
only to be slaughtered.
