Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 9 of Hosea. God remembers Israel’s beginning in the wilderness and the later corruption at Baal-peor. The initial election is described with images of grapes and early fruit, but the nation eventually followed the shame of idols. The tragedy is not that Israel never received grace, but that a relationship begun with privilege was transformed by unfaithfulness.

Efraín, según lo he visto, está como Tiro, plantado en una pradera; pero Efraín sacará a sus hijos hacia el verdugo».
Ephraïm, aussi loin que portent mes regards du côté de Tyr, Est planté dans un lieu agréable; Mais Ephraïm mènera ses enfants vers celui qui les tuera.
Efraim, mentre io l’ho riguardato, è stato simile a Tiro, piantato in una stanza piacevole; ma Efraim menerà fuori i suoi figliuoli all’ucciditore.
Efraim, assim como vi a Tiro, está plantado num lugar aprazível; mas Efraim levará os seus filhos ao matador.
我看 以法蓮 如 推羅 栽於美地。 以法蓮 卻要將自己的兒女帶出來, 交給行殺戮的人。
