Hosea 9:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ I discovered Israel
like grapes in the wilderness.^(A)
I saw your fathers
like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.^(B)
But they went to Baal-peor,^(C)
consecrated themselves to Shame,^[a](D)
and became detestable,^(E)
like the thing they loved.
¹¹ Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird:^(F)
no birth, no gestation, no conception.^(G)
12 Even if they raise children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!^(H)
