Hosea 9:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ “I found Israel,
    as one finds^[a] grapes in the wilderness;
Your ancestors seemed to me like the fruit
    gleaned from a fig tree’s first harvest.
When they went to Baal-peor,^[b]
    they devoted themselves to that filth,
and they became loathsome,
    like what they loved.
¹¹ The glory of Ephraim will fly away like a bird—
    no birth, no pregnancy, not even a conception.
¹² Even if they rear their children,
    I will, in turn, make them childless—
in fact, woe to them
    when I turn away from them!
