¹⁶ Ephraim^(A) is blighted,
    their root is withered,
    they yield no fruit.^(B)
Even if they bear children,
    I will slay^(C) their cherished offspring.”

¹³ Woe^(A) to them,
    because they have strayed^(B) from me!
Destruction to them,
    because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
    but they speak about me^(C) falsely.^(D)
