9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
9:16 Ang Ephraim ay nasaktan, ang kaniyang ugat ay natuyo, sila'y hindi mangagbubunga: oo, bagaman sila'y nanganak, gayon ma'y aking papatayin ang minamahal na bunga ng kanilang bahay-bata.
