Hosea 9:10-12
American Standard Version
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and [a]consecrated themselves unto the [b]shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved. 11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception. 12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

Hosea 9:10-12
New International Version
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)
