10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
    I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season;
    but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing,
    and became abominable like that which they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird.
    There will be no birth, no one with child, and no conception.
12 Though they bring up their children,
    yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left.
    Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!

    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)
