Hosea 9:10-17

I discovered Israel like grapes in the wilderness.  I saw your ancestors like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.  But they went to Baal-peor,  consecrated themselves to Shame,  , and became abhorrent,  like the thing they loved. Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird:  no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.  Even if they raise children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!  I have seen Ephraim like Tyre,  planted in a meadow, so Ephraim will bring out his children to the executioner. Give them, LORD  — What should you give? Give them a womb that miscarries and breasts that are dry!  All their evil appears at Gilgal,  for there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my house because of their evil, wicked actions.  I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.  Ephraim  is struck down; their roots are withered; they cannot bear fruit.  Even if they bear children, I will kill the precious offspring of their wombs.  My God will reject them because they have not listened to him;  they will become wanderers among the nations.
