Hosea 9:16

16
以法莲受责罚， 根本枯干，必不能结果， 即或生产， 我必杀他们所生的爱子。
yǐ fǎ lián shòu zé fá ， gēn běn kū gān ， bì bù néng jié guǒ ， jí huò shēng chǎn ， wǒ bì shā tā men suǒ shēng de ài zǐ 。
Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”
