Hosea 9:9-10
New American Standard Bible
9 They are (A)deeply depraved
As in the days of (B)Gibeah;
He will (C)remember their guilt,
He will punish their sins.
10 I found Israel like (D)grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your forefathers as the (E)earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season.
But they came to (F)Baal-peor and devoted themselves to [a](G)shame,
And they became as (H)detestable as that which they loved.

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.
