Hosea 9:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ “Like grapes in the wilderness
    I found Israel.
Like early fruit on a fig tree in its first season
    I saw your fathers.
They came to Baal-peor
    and devoted themselves to shame.
So they became as detestable
    as the thing they loved.
¹¹ Ephraim’s glory flies away like a bird—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
¹² For if they should raise their children,
I would make them childless to the last man.
Yes, woe to them
    when I depart from them!
