כַּעֲנָבִ֣ים בַּמִּדְבָּ֗ר מָצָ֙אתִי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כְּבִכּוּרָ֤ה בִתְאֵנָה֙ בְּרֵ֣אשִׁיתָ֔הּ רָאִ֖יתִי אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֑ם הֵ֜מָּה בָּ֣אוּ בַֽעַל־פְּע֗וֹר וַיִּנָּֽזְרוּ֙ לַבֹּ֔שֶׁת וַיִּהְי֥וּ שִׁקּוּצִ֖ים כְּאָהֳבָֽם׃
Seperti buah anggur di padang gurun, demikianlah Aku mendapati Israel; seperti buah sulung pohon ara pada awal musimnya, demikianlah Aku melihat nenek moyangmu. Tetapi mereka datang ke Baal-Peor, lalu memisahkan diri untuk mengikuti yang memalukan itu, dan mereka menjadi kekejian sesuai dengan cinta mereka.
