Hosea 4:8-13

8“When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed. So the priests are glad when the people sin!

9‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’ So now I will punish both priests and people for their wicked deeds.

10They will eat and still be hungry. They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it, for they have deserted the Lord

11to worship other gods. “Wine has robbed my people of their understanding.

12They ask a piece of wood for advice! They think a stick can tell them the future! Longing after idols has made them foolish. They have played the prostitute, serving other gods and deserting their God.

13They offer sacrifices to idols on the mountaintops. They go up into the hills to burn incense in the pleasant shade of oaks, poplars, and terebinth trees. “That is why your daughters turn to prostitution, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
