10 The Lord says,
"When I first found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert.
When I saw your people long ago,
it was like seeing the early fruit on a fig tree.
But then they went to Baal Peor.
There they gave themselves to that shameful god Baal.
They became as evil as the god they loved.
