Lord, what should you do to Ephraim’s people? Give them women whose babies die before they are born. Give them women whose breasts have no milk.

Give them, Lord— what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry.

Give them, O Lord— what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

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.

Give them, LORD— What should you give? Give them a womb that miscarries and breasts that are dry!

Give to them, Lord— what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dried up breasts.

Give them, O Lord— What will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb And dry breasts!

The time will come when you will say,‘ Blessed are the women who can’t have children! Blessed are those who never gave birth or nursed babies!’

Tyre is planted in a pleasant place. And so is Ephraim. But the Assyrians will kill Ephraim’s children.”

Every time their bulls mate, their cows become pregnant. And the calves don’t die before they are born.

Ephraim is like a worthless plant. Its roots are dried up. It does not produce any fruit. Suppose Ephraim’s people have children. Then I will kill the children they love so much.”

Times are hard for you right now. So I think it’s good for a man to stay as he is.

How awful it will be in those days for pregnant women! How awful for nursing mothers!

Ephraim’s greatness and glory will be gone. It will fly away like a bird. Women will no longer have children. They will not be able to get pregnant.

How awful it will be in those days for pregnant women! How awful for nursing mothers! There will be terrible suffering in the land. There will be great anger against those people.

How awful it will be in those days for pregnant women! How awful for nursing mothers!
