Hosea 9:9-10
World English Bible
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves,
as in the days of Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity.
He will punish them for their sins.
10 I 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
International Standard Version
9 They have corrupted themselves deeply,
as did Gibeah[a] in its day.
Therefore God[b] will remember their lawlessness,
and he will pay them back for their sins.
10 “I found Israel,
as one finds[c] grapes in the wilderness;
Your ancestors seemed to me like the fruit
gleaned from a fig tree’s first harvest.
When they went to Baal-peor,[d]
they devoted themselves to that filth,
and they became loathsome,
like what they loved.
