Hosea 9:9-10
New Living Translation
9 The 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.
10 The 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.
Hosea 9:9-10
English Standard Version
9 (A)They have deeply corrupted themselves
as (B)in the days of Gibeah:
(C)he will remember their iniquity;
he will punish their sins.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
(D)I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
But (E)they came to Baal-peor
and (F)consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and (G)became detestable like the thing they loved.
