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

Israel’s Moral Decline
7 How sad for me!
For I am like one who—
when the summer fruit has been gathered
after the gleaning of the grape harvest(A)—
finds no grape cluster to eat,
no early fig, which I crave.(B)
