Hosea 9:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves(A)
as in the days of Gibeah.(B)
He will remember their guilt;
He will punish their sins.(C)
Ephraim Bereaved of Offspring
10 I discovered Israel
like grapes in the wilderness.(D)
I saw your fathers
like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.(E)
But they went to Baal-peor,(F)
consecrated themselves to Shame,[a](G)
and became detestable,(H)
like the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird:(I)
no birth, no gestation, no conception.(J)

Hosea 9:9-11
New International Version
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,(A)
as in the days of Gibeah.(B)
God will remember(C) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.(D)
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(E) on the fig(F) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(G)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(H)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(I) will fly away like a bird(J)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(K)
