Hosea 4:12

God's Case Against The People

¹¹ Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart, ¹² My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God. ¹³ On tops of the mountains they do sacrifice, And on the hills they make perfume, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good is its shade.
