Ephraim Bereaved of Offspring
10 I discovered Israel
like grapes in the wilderness.(A)
I saw your ancestors
like the first fruit of the fig tree in its first season.(B)
But they went to Baal-peor,(C)
consecrated themselves to Shame,[a],(D)
and became abhorrent,(E)
like the thing they loved.

Israel’s Moral Decline
7 How sad for me!
For I am like one who –
when the summer fruit has been gathered
after the gleaning of the grape harvest(A) –
finds no grape cluster to eat,
no early fig, which I crave.(B)

12 All your fortresses are fig trees
with figs that ripened first;
when shaken, they fall –
right into the mouth of the eater!
