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 unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
Y foond Israel as grapis in desert, Y siy þe fadris of hem as þe firste applis of a fige tree, in þe cop þerof; but þei entriden to Belfegor, and weren alienyd in confusioun, and þei weren maad abhomynable as tho thingis whiche þei louyden.
