New Living Translation
Hosea 9:10-12
New Living Translation
10 The Lord says, “O Israel, when I first found you,
it was like finding fresh grapes in the desert.
When I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the first ripe figs of the season.
But then they deserted me for Baal-peor,
giving themselves to that shameful idol.
Soon they became vile,
as vile as the god they worshiped.
11 The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird,
for your children will not be born
or grow in the womb
or even be conceived.
12 Even if you do have children who grow up,
I will take them from you.
It will be a terrible day when I turn away
and leave you alone.

Hosea 9:10-12
New International Version
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(A) on the fig(B) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(C)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(D)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(E) will fly away like a bird(F)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(G)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(H) them of every one.
Woe(I) to them
when I turn away from them!(J)
