Israel Is Like Rotten Grapes or Rotten Figs

10 The Lord said, “When I found Israel,
    it was like finding grapes in the desert.
    When I saw your ancestors,
    it was like seeing the first figs of the harvest.
        But they went to Baal Peor and worshiped shameful idols.
            They became as disgusting as the things they worshiped.

11 “Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird.
    There will be no more pregnancies, births, or babies.
12 Even if they bring up children,
    I will take those children away before they grow up.
    Yes, how horrible it will be for them when I leave them.
