12Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them till none is left.
Woe to them
when I depart from them!
13Ephraim’s sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey;
Ephraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.
14Give them, O Lord—
what wilt thou give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.

I will bereave them till none is left.
Woe to them
when I depart from them!
Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow;
but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.
Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.

I will bereave them of every one.
Woe to them
when I turn away from them!

planted in a pleasant place.
But Ephraim will bring out
their children to the slayer.”
Give them, Lord—
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry
and breasts that are dry.

Even if they raise children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
I have seen Ephraim like Tyre,
planted in a meadow,
so Ephraim will bring out his children
to the executioner.
Give them, Lord—
What should you give?
Give them a womb that miscarries
and breasts that are dry!

NLTNew Living Translation
Even if you do have children who grow up,
I will take them from you.
It will be a terrible day when I turn away
and leave you alone.
I have watched Israel become as beautiful as Tyre.
But now Israel will bring out her children for slaughter.”
O Lord, what should I request for your people?
I will ask for wombs that don’t give birth
and breasts that give no milk.

Even though they bring up their children,
I will bereave them before maturity.
Woe to them indeed,
when I depart from them!
Ephraim, as I see it,
is like a palm in a meadow;
but Ephraim must bring out
his children to the slayer.
Give them, O Yahweh—
what will you give them?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.

Though they bring up their children,
Yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left:
Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place:
But Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give?
Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
