Hosea 4:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² My people ^(A)inquire of a piece of wood,
    and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For ^(B)a spirit of whoredom has led them astray,
    and they have left their God to play the whore.
^13 (C)They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
    and burn offerings on the hills,
^(D)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 ^(E)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
    and sacrifice with ^(F)cult prostitutes,
and a people ^(G)without understanding shall come to ruin.
