Hosea 9:12 Context
10I found Israel like grapes in the wildernesse: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according as they loued. 11As for Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception. 12Though they bring vp their children, yet wil I bereaue them that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them. 13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring foorth his children to the murderer. 14Giue them, O Lord: what wilt thou giue? giue them a miscarying wombe, and drie breasts.

Wesley's Notes for Hosea 9:12
9:12 Not a man left - There shall be a total extirpation of them. When I depart - To compleat their misery, I will depart from them. It is sad to lose our children, but sadder to lose our God.
