Grapes in the Wilderness
10 I found Israel like (A)grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your fathers as the (B)earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season.
But they came to (C)Baal-peor and devoted themselves to [a](D)shame,
And they became as (E)detestable as that which they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their (F)glory will fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them [b]until not a man is left.
Surely, (G)woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

Hosea 9:10-12
New International Version
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(A) on the fig(B) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(C)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(D)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(E) will fly away like a bird(F)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(G)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(H) them of every one.
Woe(I) to them
when I turn away from them!(J)
