Hosea 9:13

Context

9:13 Just as lion cubs are born predators, 1 

so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.

Hosea 9:16

Context

9:16 Ephraim will be struck down 2 

their root will be dried up;

they will not yield any fruit.

Even if they do bear children,

I will kill their precious offspring.

1 tc The MT is corrupt in 9:13. The BHS editors suggest emending the text to follow the LXX reading. See D. Barthélemy, ed., Preliminary and Interim Report on the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project, 5:250-51.

2 tn Or perhaps, following the plant metaphor, “will be blighted” (NIV similar).
