New International Version
12 My people consult a wooden idol,(A)
and a diviner’s rod speaks to them.(B)
A spirit of prostitution(C) leads them astray;(D)
they are unfaithful(E) to their God.

and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak,(F) poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.(G)
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution(H)
and your daughters-in-law to adultery.(I)
