9:10. I found Israel like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became abominable, as those things were, which they loved.
9:11. As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
9:12. And though they should bring up their children, I will make them without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart from them.
9:13. Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre, founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer.
9:14. Give them, O Lord. What wilt thou give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
9:15. All their wickedness is in Galgal, for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their devices I will cast them forth out of my house: I will love them no more, all their princes are revolters.
9:16. Ephraim is struck, their root is dried up, they shall yield no fruit. And if they should have issue, I will slay the best beloved fruit of their womb.
9:17. My God will cast them away, because they hearkened not to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Osee Chapter 10
After many benefits, great affliction shall fall upon the ten tribes, for their ingratitude to God.
