Hosea 9:10-12
New International Version - UK
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 on the fig-tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird –
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
12 Even if they bring up children,
I will bereave them of every one.
Woe to them
when I turn away from them!
