I found Isra'el like grapes in the wilderness,
I saw your forefathers like the first fruit on a fig tree at its beginning,
They came to Ba‘al-P‘or, and separated themselves to the shame [of Ba'al],
They became monsters, as what they loved.
The F.O.G
As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They—they have gone in to Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.
