Hosea 4:15-17
Lexham English Bible

15 Even though you, O Israel, are playing the whore,
    do not let Judah become guilty;
do not enter Gilgal,
    or go up to Beth-aven;
and do not swear,
    “As Yahweh lives!”[a]
16 Indeed, like a stubborn heifer,
    Israel is stubborn;
Now Yahweh will feed them,
    like a lamb in broad pasture.[b]
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
    let him alone.
