Hosea, the prophet, is speaking.

I have seen Ephraim, just like Tyre

Hosea is comparing Ephraim to Tyre, Israel's enemy, to show how they will end up similar circumstances. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them?

Hosea is saying that he knows how Yahweh should judge Ephraim and asks Yahweh to judge them by reversing the blessing of having and keeping many children. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
