Hosea 9:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 The watchman of Ephraim [a]should be with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9 They [b]are deeply set: they are corrupt as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10 I found Israel like [c]grapes in the wilderness: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and their abominations were according to [d]their lovers.
