Hosea 9:10-12

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁰ “When I found Isra’el, it was like finding
grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing
a fig tree’s first figs in its first season.
But as soon as they came to Ba‘al-P‘or,
they dedicated themselves to something shameful;
they became as loathsome
as the thing they loved.
¹¹ The glory of Efrayim will fly away like a bird —
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
¹² Even if they raise their children,
I will destroy them till none is left —
and woe to them when I leave them, too!”
