Hosea 9:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Ephraim their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth [a]and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will deprive them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
13 Ephraim, as I saw, is as a tree [b]in Tyre planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
