Hos 9:10 | NETfull | STEP | When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. I viewed your ancestors 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.

Hosea 9:10

10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness.
I viewed your ancestors ^{▼▼ 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.
