They have deeply corrupted themselves(A)
as in the days of Gibeah.(B)
He will remember their guilt;
He will punish their sins.(C)

Ephraim Bereaved of Offspring

10 I discovered Israel
like grapes in the wilderness.(D)
I saw your fathers
like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.(E)
But they went to Baal-peor,(F)
consecrated themselves to Shame,[a](G)
and became detestable,(H)
like the thing they loved.

They have corrupted themselves terribly
        as in the days of Gibeah;
    he will remember their wickedness;
        he will punish their sins.

10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
        I found Israel.
    In its first season,
    like the first fruit on the fig tree,
        I saw your ancestors.
    But they came to Baal-peor,
        and worshipped a thing of shame;
    they became detestable like the thing they loved.[a]
