I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 9 of Hosea. God remembers Israel’s beginning in the wilderness and the later corruption at Baal-peor. The initial election is described with images of grapes and early fruit, but the nation eventually followed the shame of idols. The tragedy is not that Israel never received grace, but that a relationship begun with privilege was transformed by unfaithfulness.

Ich fand Israel in der Wüste wie Trauben und sah eure Väter wie die ersten Feigen am Feigenbaum; aber hernach gingen sie zu Baal-Peor und gelobten sich dem schändlichen Abgott und wurden ja so greulich wie ihre Buhlen.
Como uvas en el desierto hallé a Israel: como la fruta temprana de la higuera en su principio vi a vuestros padres. Ellos entraron a Baal-peor, y se apartaron para vergüenza, e hiciéronse abominables como aquello que amaron.
«Como uvas en el desierto encontré a Israel; como el primer higo de una higuera en su primera cosecha vi a sus padres. Pero ellos fueron a Baal-peor, se consagraron a la vergüenza y se volvieron abominables como aquello que amaban.
J'ai trouvé Israël comme des raisins dans le désert, J'ai vu vos pères comme les premiers fruits d'un figuier; Mais ils sont allés vers Baal-Peor, Ils se sont consacrés à l'infâme idole, Et ils sont devenus abominables comme l'objet de leur amour.
Io trovai Israele, come delle uve nel deserto; io riguardai i vostri padri, come i frutti primaticci nel fico, nel suo principio. Essi entrarono da Baal-peor, e si separarono dietro a quella cosa vergognosa, e divennero abbominevoli, come ciò che amavano
Achei a Israel como uvas no deserto, vi a vossos pais como a fruta temporã da figueira no seu princípio; mas eles foram para Baal-Peor, e se consagraram a essa vergonha, e se tornaram abomináveis como aquilo que amaram.
我發現 以色列 , 如在曠野的葡萄; 我看見你們的祖先, 如春季無花果樹上初熟的果子。 他們卻來到 巴力‧毗珥 , 獻上自己做羞恥的事, 成為可憎惡的, 與他們所愛的一樣。
