Hosea 9:10–17

10  I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;

I saw your fathers as bthe firstripe in the fig tree cat her first time:

But dthey went to eBaal-peor, and fseparated themselves unto gthat shame;

And htheir abominations were according as they loved.

11  As for Ephraim, itheir glory shall fly away like a bird,

jFrom the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

12  kThough they bring up their children,

Yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left:

Yea, lwoe also to them mwhen I depart from them!

13  Ephraim, as I saw nTyrus, is planted in a pleasant place:

But Ephraim kshall bring forth his children to the murderer.

14  Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give?

Give them oa miscarrying womb and odry breasts.

15  All their wickedness is pin Gilgal: for there I hated them:

For the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house,

I will love them no more:

All qtheir princes are rrevolters.

16  Ephraim is smitten, jstheir root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit:

Yea, kthough they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

17  My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him:

And tthey shall be wanderers among the nations.
