Osee 9:12

12 For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: wherefore also there is woe to them, my flesh is of them.

Osee 9:12 In-Context

10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig-tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.

11 Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.

12 For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: wherefore also there is woe to them, my flesh is of them.

13 Ephraim, as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yea, Ephraim to bring out his children to slaughter.

14 Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
