11HarlotryH2184, 10wineH3196 and newH8492 wineH8492 takeH3947 away the 11understandingH3820.12My peopleH5971 12consultH7592 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 13from their GodH430.13They offerH2076 sacrificesH2076 on the 14topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 And 15 16burnH6999 incenseH6999 on the hillsH1389, 17UnderH8478 oakH437, poplarH3839 and terebinthH424, BecauseH3588 their shadeH6738 is pleasantH2896.
