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.

"Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.

When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.

His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.
