Hosea 9:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 I found Israel like [a]grapes in the wilderness: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and their abominations were according to [b]their lovers.
11 Ephraim their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth [c]and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will deprive them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
