Hosea 4:14
New Living Translation
14 But why should I punish them
for their prostitution and adultery?
For your men are doing the same thing,
sinning with whores and shrine prostitutes.
O foolish people! You refuse to understand,
so you will be destroyed.
Hosea 4:14
Amplified Bible
14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves slip away with prostitutes,
And they offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes [who give their bodies in honor of the idol].
So the people without understanding [stumble and fall and] come to ruin.
Hosea 4:14
New American Standard Bible
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute,
Or your [a]brides when they commit adultery,
Because the men themselves slip away with the prostitutes
And offer sacrifices with (A)temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.
