Hosea 9:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ I regarded Israel like grapes found in the wilderness.
    I regarded your forefathers like the first ripe fruit on a fig tree in its first season,
    but they went to Baal Peor, and they devoted themselves to a shameful thing,
    and they became as disgusting as the thing they loved.
¹¹ Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird—
    no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
¹² Even if they bring up their children,
    I will deprive them of each one.
    Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!
