Hosea 9:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 Like the grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like early ripened fruit on the fig tree in the first season,[a]
I saw your ancestors.[b]
They themselves came to Baal Peor,
and they consecrated themselves to shame.
And they became detestable things,
like the thing they love.[c]
11 Ephraim’s glory is like a bird;
it will fly away—
no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
12 Even though they bring up their children,
I will bereave them before maturity.[d]
Woe to them indeed,
when I depart from them!

and became as vile as the thing they loved.
