Hosea 9:9-10

World English Bible

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves,
    as in the days of Gibeah.
    He will remember their iniquity.
    He will punish them for their sins.
¹⁰I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
    I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season;
    but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing,
    and became abominable like that which they loved.

Hosea 9:9-10

New Living Translation

⁹The things my people do are as depraved
as what they did in Gibeah long ago.
God will not forget.
He will surely punish them for their sins.

¹⁰The Lord says, “O Israel, when I first found you,
    it was like finding fresh grapes in the desert.
When I saw your ancestors,
    it was like seeing the first ripe figs of the season.
But then they deserted me for Baal-peor,
    giving themselves to that shameful idol.
Soon they became vile,
    as vile as the god they worshiped.
