Ephraim Bereaved Of Offspring
10 Like the grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like early ripened fruit on the fig tree in the first season, I saw your ancestors. They themselves came [to] Baal Peor, and they consecrated themselves to shame. And they became detestable things, like {the thing they love}. 11 Ephraim's glory [is] like a bird; it will fly away-- no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception. 12 Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them before maturity. Woe to them indeed, when I depart from them!
