But the prophet is a1 fowler’s snare in all his ways—
Enmity in the house of his God.
As in the days of bGibeah.
He will remember their iniquity;
He will punish their sins.
Like grapes in the awilderness;
I saw your fathers
As the bfirstfruits on the fig tree in its first season.
But they went to cBaal Peor,
And1 separated themselves to that shame;
dThey became an abomination like the thing they loved.
No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
Yet I will bereave them to the last man.
Yes, awoe to them when I depart from them!
So Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.”
For there I hated them.
Because of the evil of their deeds
I will drive them from My house;
I will love them no more.
bAll their princes are rebellious.

Hosea 9:10
I found Israel - The Lord speaks of himself in the person of a traveller, who unexpectedly in the wilderness finds a vine loaded with grapes; such love did God bear to Israel. Your fathers - Whom I brought out of Egypt. As the first - ripe - As the earliest ripe fruit of the fig - tree, which is most valued and desired. Separated themselves - Consecrated themselves to that shameful idol. Their abominations - Their idols, and way of worshipping them. As they loved - As they fancied.
