Hosea 9:10-14

10I discovered Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your ancestors like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, consecrated themselves to Shame, and became abhorrent, like the thing they loved.

11Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird: no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.

12Even if they raise children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

13I have seen Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a meadow, so Ephraim will bring out his children to the executioner.

14Give them, Lord  — What should you give? Give them a womb that miscarries and breasts that are dry!
