Hosea 9:11

Hosea 9:11

9 ^aThey are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of ^bGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.

10 “I found Israel
Like grapes in the ^awilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the ^bfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to ^cBaal Peor,
And¹ separated themselves to that shame;
^dThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!

12 Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, ^awoe to them when I depart from them!

13 Just ^aas I saw Ephraim like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place,
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hosea 9:10

Hosea 9:12 >>

Their glory - Their children or posterity, which was the glory of Israel. Shall fly - It is proverbial, and speaks a sudden loss of children. From the birth - As soon as born. From the womb - Their mothers shall not bring their fruit alive into the world. The conception - Their wives shall not conceive.
