Hosea 4:11

Yahweh Has An Indictment

¹⁰ They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to the LORD. ¹¹ Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding. ¹² My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
