Hosea 9:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 They [a]are deeply set: they are corrupt as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 I found Israel like [b]grapes in the wilderness: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and their abominations were according to [c]their lovers.
11 Ephraim their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth [d]and from the womb, and from the conception.

Hosea 9:9-11
New International Version
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(A)
as in the days of Gibeah.(B)
God will remember(C) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(D)
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(E) on the fig(F) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(G)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(H)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(I) will fly away like a bird(J)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(K)
