(A) You are brutal and corrupt,
    as were the men of Gibeah.[a]
But God remembers your sin,
    and you will be punished.

Sin's Terrible Results

10 (B) Israel, when I, the Lord,
    found you long ago
it was like finding
grapes in a barren desert
    or tender young figs.
Then you worshiped Baal Peor,
    that disgusting idol,
and you became as disgusting
    as the idol you loved.

11 And so, Israel, your glory
    will fly away like birds—
your women will no longer
    be able to give birth.
