John Gill Commentary Hosea 9:11

"As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception." — Hosea 9:11 (ASV)

[As for] Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird ,
&c.] That is, suddenly, swiftly, and irrecoverably, and never return more; which some understand of God their glory, and of his departure from them, as in (Hosea 9:12); others of their wealth and riches, and whatever was glorious and valuable among them, which should fly away from them in a moment, when taken and carried captive; rather their numerous posterity, in which they were very fruitful, according to their name, and in which they gloried, as children are the glory of their parents, (Proverbs 17:6); which sense agrees with what follows, and which explains the manner of their fleeing away, and the periods of it:

from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception ;
that is, some of them, as soon as they were born; others while in the womb, being abortives; or, however, when they should, or as soon as they did, come from thence; and others, as soon as conceived, never come to anything; or not conceived at all, as Kimchi interprets it, the women being barren.
