Hosea 9:10
Berean Standard Bible
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.
Context
8The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman,
along with my God,*
yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths.
Hostility is in the house of his God! 9They have deeply corrupted themselves
as in the days of Gibeah;
He will remember their guilt;
He will punish their sins. 10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness.
I saw your fathers as the firstfruits
of the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to Baal-peor,
and consecrated themselves to Shame;
so they became as detestable
as the thing they loved. 11Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird,
with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception. 12Even if they raise their children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe be to them
when I turn away from them!
