Hosea 9:10

New International Reader's Version Bible (NIRV)

The Lord says,

“When I first found Israel,
    it was like finding grapes in the desert.
When I saw your people of long ago,
    it was like seeing the early fruit on a fig tree.
But then they went to Baal Peor.
    There they gave themselves to that shameful god named Baal.
    They became as evil as the god they loved.
