Hosea 4:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Israel, if you act promiscuously,
don’t let Judah become guilty!
Do not go to Gilgal^(A)
or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,^[a](B)
and do not swear an oath: As the Lord lives!^(C)
16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn cow.^(D)
Can the Lord now shepherd them
like a lamb in an open meadow?^(E)
17 Ephraim is attached to idols;^(F)
leave him alone!^(G)
