Hosea 9:10-14

10Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Baal-peor and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame, and became detestable like the thing they loved.

11Ephraim's glory shall fly away like a bird— no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!

12Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!

13Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow; but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.

14Give them, O Lord— what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
