Hosea 4:12-15

12My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stock, and their staffH4731 declareth unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredom hath causedH430 them to errH8582, and they have goneH8582 a whoring from underH8478 their GodH430.

13They sacrificeH2076 uponH5921 the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and burnH6999 incenseH6999 uponH5921 the hillsH1389, underH8478 oaksH437 and poplars and terebinths, becauseH3588 the shadowH6738 thereof is goodH2896: therefore your daughtersH1323 commitH5003 whoredom, and your bridesH3618 commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

14I will notH3808 punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 when they commitH5003 whoredom, norH3808 your bridesH3618 when they commitH5003 adulteryH5003; for they themselvesH1992 goH6504 apartH6504 with whores, and they sacrificeH2076 with the harlotsH2181: and the peopleH5971 that doth notH3808 understandH995 shall be overthrown.

15ThoughH518 thou, IsraelH3478, playH2181 the harlotH2181, yet letH408 notH408 JudahH3063 offend; and comeH935 notH408 ye unto GilgalH1537, neitherH408 goH935 ye upH5927 to Beth-aven, norH408 swearH7650, As the LORDH3068 liveth.
