“For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil,
And lavished on her silver and gold,
Which they used for Baal.

“I will punish her for the days of the Baals
When she used to offer sacrifices to them
And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me,” declares the Lord.

“For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness;
I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season.
But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame,
And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

The more they called them,
The more they went from them;
They kept sacrificing to the Baals
And burning incense to idols.

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
But through Baal he did wrong and died.
