This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

their glory shall fly away - fit retribution to those who “separated themselves unto that shame” (Hos 9:10). Children were accounted the glory of parents; sterility, a reproach. “Ephraim” means “fruitfulness” (Gen 41:52); this its name shall cease to be its characteristic.

from the birth ... womb ... conception - Ephraim’s children shall perish in a threefold gradation; (1) From the time of birth. (2) From the time of pregnancy. (3) From the time of their first conception.
