Hosea 9:10-12

New King James Version

¹⁰ “I found Israel
Like grapes in the ^(A)wilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the ^(B)firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to ^(C)Baal Peor,
And ^[a]separated themselves to that shame;
^(D)They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
¹² Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, ^(E)woe to them when I depart from them!
