Hosea 9:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 I found Israel like [a]grapes in the wilderness: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and their abominations were according to [b]their lovers.
11 Ephraim their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth [c]and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet I will deprive them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.

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)
