I found Israel, &c.— "After I had miraculously redeemed Israel out of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness, their obedience was as grateful to me as early grapes, or the first ripe figs to a thirsty traveller." See Micah 7:1.Isaiah 28:4. Houbigant renders the last clause of this verse, Which when they loved they became abominable: others read, They went to Baal-peor, and consecrated or devoted themselves unto that shame; and abominations became as their love.
