10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your fathers as the firstripe 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 as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird,
from the birth, and from the womb,
and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them,
that there shall not be a man left:
yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

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(A) on the fig(B) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(C)
    they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(D)
    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)
