“All their evil came out into the openat the pagan shrine at Gilgal. Oh, how I hated them there!Because of their evil practices,I’ll kick them off my land.I’m wasting no more love on them.Their leaders are a bunch of rebellious adolescents.Ephraim is hit hard—roots withered, no more fruit.Even if by some miracle they had children,the dear babies wouldn’t live—I’d make sure of that!”
