Ephraim Bereaved of Offspring

10 I discovered Israel
like grapes in the wilderness.(A)
I saw your ancestors
like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.(B)
But they went to Baal-peor,(C)
consecrated themselves to Shame,[a](D)
and became abhorrent,(E)
like the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird:(F)
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(G)
12 Even if they raise children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!(H)
