‏ Hosea 9:10

10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness.
I viewed your ancestors ^{▼▼tn Heb “fathers”; a number of more recent English versions use the more general “ancestors” here.} like an early fig on a fig tree in its first season.
Then they came to Baal Peor, and they dedicated themselves to shame—
they became as detestable as what they loved.
