Hosea 4:14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 I will not punish your daughters for their prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law for their adultery,
Because the men themselves consort with prostitutes,
and with temple women[a] they offer sacrifice!
Thus a people without understanding comes to ruin.
