הֻכָּ֣ה אֶפְרַ֔יִם שָׁרְשָׁ֥ם יָבֵ֖שׁ פְּרִ֣י בלי־[בַֽל־] יַעֲשׂ֑וּן גַּ֚ם כִּ֣י יֵֽלֵד֔וּן וְהֵמַתִּ֖י מַחֲמַדֵּ֥י בִטְנָֽם׃ (ס)
Sinaktan ang Efraim, natuyo ang kanilang ugat, hindi na sila magbubunga; at kahit sila ay manganak, papatayin Ko ang minamahal na bunga ng kanilang sinapupunan.

they shall not produce fruit It is not good for them to multiply, for, even if they bear children, I will slay the precious ones of their womb.
