Contemporary English Version
Hosea 9:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 (A) You are brutal and corrupt,
as were the men of Gibeah.[a]
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.
11 And so, Israel, your glory
will fly away like birds—
your women will no longer
be able to give birth.
Footnotes
- 9.9 the men of Gibeah: They raped and murdered a woman (see Judges 19).
