"Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution."
— Hosea 9:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.”
“Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer. ”
“I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
“Ephraim, as I have seen, has given their children for prey; Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.”
“Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre, founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer.”
“As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.”
“Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.”
I discovered Israel like grapes in the desert. Like the first fruits of the fig tree, I saw their fathers on the end of its branches. But they went in to Baal-peor, and they have been estranged by intermingling, and they have become abominable, just like the things that they chose to love.
Ephraim has chased away their glory like a bird: from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.
And even if they should nurture their sons, I will make them without children among men. Yes, and woe to them, when I have withdrawn from them.
Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution.
Give them, O Lord. What will you give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for I held them there, in their hatred. Because of the malice of their inventions, I will expel them from my house. I will no longer say that I love them; all their leaders have retreated.
Ephraim has been struck; their root has been dried out: by no means will they yield fruit. And even if they should conceive, I will execute the most beloved of their womb.
