Hosea 4:10-14
Legacy Standard Bible
10 (A)They will eat, but not be satisfied;
They will (B)play the harlot, but not break forth in number,
Because they have [a](C)forsaken Yahweh to keep harlotry.
11 Harlotry, (D)wine, and new wine take away a heart of wisdom.
12 My people (E)ask their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand declares to them;
For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray,
And they have played the harlot, departing [b]from their God.
13 They offer sacrifices on the (F)tops of the mountains
And [c](G)burn incense on the hills,
(H)Under oak, poplar, and terebinth
Because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the harlot,
And your [d]brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your [e]brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with (I)cult prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are [f]ruined.
