Hosea 9:8–10
8 The lwatchman of Ephraim is with my God;
But the prophet is a 1fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
9 mThey are deeply corrupted,
As in the days of nGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
Like grapes in the owilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the pfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to qBaal Peor,
And 2separated themselves to that shame;
rThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.
