Hosea 4:8-13

8They feed on the sins of my people, and they want them to do wicked things.

9So the priests will be punished like the people. I will punish them for their wicked ways and pay them back for what they have done.

10“They will eat, but they’ll never be full. They will have sex with prostitutes, but they’ll never have children. They have abandoned the Lord.

11Prostitutes, old wine, and new wine have robbed them of their senses.

12My people ask their wooden idols for help. A piece of wood tells them what to do. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray. They commit adultery by giving themselves to other gods.

13They offer sacrifices on mountaintops, and they burn incense on the hills under oaks, poplars, and other trees. They think that these trees provide good shade. “That is why your daughters become prostitutes, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
