Hosea 9:11 Context
9They haue deeply corrupted themselues as in the dayes of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes. 10I found Israel like grapes in the wildernesse: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according as they loued. 11As for Ephraim, their glory shall flee away like a bird: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception. 12Though they bring vp their children, yet wil I bereaue them that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them. 13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring foorth his children to the murderer.
