Hosea 9:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ I found Israel like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became abominable, as those things were, which they loved.

¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like a bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

¹² And though they should bring up their children, I will make them without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart from them.
