Hosea 4:13-14
King James Version
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

Hosea 4:13-14
English Standard Version
13 (A)They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
and burn offerings on the hills,
(B)under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
and your brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for (C)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
and sacrifice with (D)cult prostitutes,
and a people (E)without understanding shall come to ruin.
Hosea 4:13-14
Christian Standard Bible
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops,(A)
and they burn offerings on the hills,(B)
and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,(C)
because their shade is pleasant.
And so your daughters act promiscuously
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters
when they act promiscuously
or your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
for the men themselves go off with prostitutes(D)
and make sacrifices with cult prostitutes.(E)
People without discernment are doomed.(F)
Hosea 4:13-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 They offer sacrifices on the (A)tops of the mountains
And [a](B)burn incense on the hills,
(C)Under oak, poplar and terebinth,
Because their shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters play the harlot
And your [b]brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your [c]brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with (D)temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are [d]ruined.
