Hosea 9:16 in Context — Hosea 9
14 Dales, oh Jehová, lo que les has de dar: dales matriz expeliente, y enjutos pechos.
15 Toda la maldad de ellos [fué] en Gilgal; allí, pues, les tomé aversión: por la malicia de sus obras echarélos de mi casa; no los amaré más; todos sus príncipes son desleales.
16 Ephraim fué herido, secóse su cepa, no hará más fruto: aunque engendren, yo mataré lo deseable de su vientre.
17 Mi Dios los desechará, porque ellos no le oyeron; y andarán errantes entre las gentes.
