Hosea 9:11-17
New King James Version
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, (A)woe to them when I depart from them!
13 Just (B)as I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
14 Give them, O Lord—
What will You give?
Give them (C)a miscarrying womb
And dry breasts!
15 “All their wickedness is in (D)Gilgal,
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
(E)All their princes are rebellious.
16 Ephraim is (F)stricken,
Their root is dried up;
They shall bear no fruit.
Yes, were they to bear children,
I would kill the darlings of their womb.”
17 My God will (G)cast them away,
Because they did not obey Him;
And they shall be (H)wanderers among the nations.
Hosea 4:14
New King James Version
14 “I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,

And offer sacrifices with a (A)ritual harlot.
Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.

Isaiah 65:13-16
New King James Version
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, My servants shall eat,
But you shall be hungry;
Behold, My servants shall drink,
But you shall be thirsty;
Behold, My servants shall rejoice,
But you shall be ashamed;
14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And (A)wail for [a]grief of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name (B)as a curse to (C)My chosen;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And (D)call His servants by another name;
16 (E)So that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And (F)he who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.

2 Peter 2:20-22
New King James Version
20 For if, after they (A)have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are (B)again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For (C)it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: (D)“A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
