Amplified Bible
Hosea 9:10-14
10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness [an unexpected and refreshing delight]; I saw your fathers (ancestors) as the first ripe fruit on the fig tree in its first season, But they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to shamefulness [the worship of Baal], And [because of their spiritual and physical adultery] they became as detestable and loathsome as the thing they loved.
11As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird; No birth, no pregnancy, and [because of their impurity] no conception.
12Even though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them until not one is left. Indeed, woe (judgment is coming) to them when I look away and withdraw [My blessing] from them!
13Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pleasant [and prosperous] meadow like Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children to the executioner [for slaughter].
14Give them [the punishment they deserve], O Lord! What will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
