10. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

14. Give them—Yahweh what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
