Hosea 4:14-16
English Standard Version
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for (A)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
and sacrifice with (B)cult prostitutes,
and a people (C)without understanding shall come to ruin.
15 Though you play the whore, O (D)Israel,
let not (E)Judah become guilty.
(F)Enter not into (G)Gilgal,
nor go up to (H)Beth-aven,
and swear not, “As the Lord lives.”
16 Like a stubborn heifer,
Israel is stubborn;
can the Lord now feed them
like a lamb in a broad pasture?
