God will remember(C) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.(D)

    it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,

    they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(H)
    and became as vile as the thing they loved.

(A)They are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of (B)Gibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.

As the (D)firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.

And [a]separated themselves to that shame;
(F)They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
