IX] :For the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
 * The watchman of Ephraim was with my God:
 * But the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways,
 * And hatred in the house of his God.
 * They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah:
 * Therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
 * I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;
 * I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time:
 * But they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame;
 * And their abominations were according as they loved.
 * As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird,
 * From the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
 * Though they bring up their children,
 * Yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left:
 * Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
 * Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place:
 * But Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
 * Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give?
 * Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
