Hosea 4:12-19

12My peopleH5971 1consultH7592 their woodenH6086 idol, and their diviner’s wandH4731 informsH5046 them; For a spiritH7307 of harlotryH2183 has ledH8582 them astrayH8582, And they have playedH2181 the harlotH2181, departing 2from their GodH430.13They offerH2076 sacrificesH2076 on the 3topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 And 45burnH6999 incenseH6999 on the hillsH1389, 6UnderH8478 oakH437, poplarH3839 and terebinthH424, BecauseH3588 their shadeH6738 is pleasantH2896. ThereforeH5921H3651 your daughtersH1323 playH2181 the harlotH2181 And your 7bridesH3618 commitH5003 adulteryH5003.14I will not punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 whenH3588 they playH2181 the harlotH2181 Or your 8bridesH3618 whenH3588 they commitH5003 adulteryH5003, For the men themselvesH1992 goH6504 apartH6504 with harlotsH2181 And offerH2076 sacrificesH2076 with 9templeH6945 prostitutesH6945; So the peopleH5971 withoutH3808 understandingH995 are 10ruinedH3832.

15ThoughH518 you, IsraelH3478, playH2181 the harlotH2181, Do not let JudahH3063 becomeH816 guiltyH816; Also do not goH935 to 11GilgalH1537, Or goH5927 up to Beth-avenH1007 12And takeH7650 the oathH7650: “As the LordH3068 livesH2416!”16SinceH3588 IsraelH3478 is 13stubbornH5637 Like a stubbornH5637 heiferH6499, 14Can the LordH3068 nowH6258 15pastureH7462 them Like a lambH3532 in a largeH4800 fieldH4800?17EphraimH669 is joinedH2266 to 16idolsH6091; 17LetH5117 him aloneH5117.18Their liquorH5435 goneH5493, They playH2181 the harlotH2181 continuallyH2181; 18Their 19rulersH4043 dearlyH157 loveH157 shameH7036.1920The windH7307 wrapsH6887 them in its wingsH3671, And they will be ashamedH954 becauseH4480 of their sacrificesH2077.
