The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

9:9 They have sunk deep into corruption27

as in the days of Gibeah.

He will remember their wrongdoing.

He will repay them for their sins.

9:10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness.

I viewed your ancestors28 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.
