Hosea 9:10–12

10  Like grapes in the wilderness,

I found Israel.

Like the first fruit on the fig tree

in its first season,

I saw your fathers.

yBut they came to Baal-peor

and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,

and became detestable like the thing they loved.

11  Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird—

no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

12  Even if they bring up children,

I will bereave them till none is left.

zWoe to them

when I depart from them!
