Hosea 9:16 in Context — Hosea 9

14 Dá-lhes, SENHOR, o que lhes darás? Dá-lhes ventre que aborte, e seios sem leite.

15 Por causa de toda a sua malícia em Gilgal, ali eu os odiei; por causa da malícia de suas obras eu os expulsarei de minha casa; eu não mais os amarei; todos os seus príncipes são rebeldes.

16 Efraim foi ferido, sua raiz se secou, não darão fruto; e que ainda que gerem, eu matarei os desejáveis [frutos] de seu ventre.

17 Meu Deus os rejeitará porque não o ouviram; e andarão sem rumo entre as nações.
