10 Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,
I saw your fathers.
yBut they came to Baal-peor
and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
and became detestable like the thing they loved.
The Lord’s Love for Israel
1 When Israel was a child, I loved him,
2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord,
“I remember the devotion of your ayouth,
your love bas a bride,
how you followed me in the wilderness,
in a land not sown.
22 And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood.
60 yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an aeverlasting covenant.
