Hosea 4:12-19 - God's Case Against The People
12 My people will ask in their counsel, and with their rod they will announce to them: for the spirit of fornications caused to err, and they will commit fornication from under their God. 13 Upon the heads of the mountains they will sacrifice, and upon the hills they will burn incense, under the oak and the white poplar and the terebinth, because its shadow was good: for this your daughters will commit fornication, and your brides shall commit adultery. 14 I will not review over your daughters when they shall commit fornication, and over your brides when they shall commit adultery: fur they will separate themselves with harlots, and with prostitutes will they sacrifice: and the people will not understand, they shall be thrown down.
15 If thou Israel commit fornication Judah shall not transgress; and ye shall not come to Gilgal, and ye shall not go up to the house of vanity, and ye shall not swear, Jehovah lives. 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. 19 The wind bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed of their sacrifices
