Hosea 4:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters
    when they play the whore,
nor your daughters-in-law
    when they commit adultery.
For the men separate themselves with whores,
    and they sacrifice with cult prostitutes.
    A people without understanding will come to ruin.

¹⁵ Though you play the whore, O Israel,
    do not let Judah offend.

Do not come to Gilgal,
    or go up to Beth Aven,
    and do not swear, “As the Lord lives.”
¹⁶ Like a stubborn heifer,
    Israel is stubborn.
Now will the Lord feed them
    like a lamb in a wide pasture?
