Hosea 9:9-11

Modern English Version

¹⁰ Like grapes in the wilderness,
    I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season,
    I saw your fathers.
But they went to Baal Peor
    and consecrated themselves to a thing of shame,
    and 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, no conception!
