{Hosea 9:4} They shall not offer wine [offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices [shall be] unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Hosea 9:11} [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
