Hosea 9:7-10

New International Version

⁷ The days of punishment^(A) are coming,
    the days of reckoning^(B) are at hand.
    Let Israel know this.
Because your sins^(C) are so many
    and your hostility so great,
the prophet is considered a fool,^(D)
    the inspired person a maniac.^(E)
8 The prophet, along with my God,
    is the watchman over Ephraim,^[a]
yet snares^(F) await him on all his paths,
    and hostility in the house of his God.^(G)
9 They have sunk deep into corruption,^(H)
    as in the days of Gibeah.^(I)
God will remember^(J) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.^(K)

¹⁰ “When I found Israel,
    it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
    it was like seeing the early fruit^(L) on the fig^(M) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,^(N)
    they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol^(O)
    and became as vile as the thing they loved.
