Contemporary English Version
Hosea 9:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 Israel, the Lord sent me
to look after you.[a]
But you trap his prophets
and flood his temple
with your hatred.
9 (A) You are brutal and corrupt,
as were the men of Gibeah.[b]
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.
