Hosea 4:17

God's Case Against The People

¹⁶ For as a stubborn heifer Israel was stubborn: now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a wide place. ¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to images: leave him. ¹⁸ Their drinking bout departed: committing fornication, they committed fornication: they loved, give ye shame upon her shields.
