Hosea 9:10
New Catholic Bible

At the Roots of the Evil of Israel[a]

The Crimes of Baal-peor and Gilgal

10 It was like finding grapes in the desert
    when I found Israel.
When I saw your fathers,
    it was like seeing the early frost on a fig tree.
However, when they came to Baal-peor,
    they consecrated themselves to a shameful idol,
    and they became as loathsome as the thing they loved.
