Hosea 9:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree,
in its first season,
I saw your ancestors.
But they came to Baal-peor
and consecrated themselves to a thing of shame
and became detestable like the thing they loved.(A)
11 Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!(B)
12 Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them until no one is left.
Woe to them indeed
when I depart from them!(C)
