Hosea 4:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
Do not let Judah become guilty;
Also do not go to (A)Gilgal
Nor go up to Beth-aven
(B)And swear the oath:
“As Yahweh lives!”
16 Since Israel is (C)stubborn
Like a stubborn heifer,
[a]Can Yahweh now (D)feed them
Like a lamb in a large field?
17 Ephraim is joined to (E)idols;
(F)Let him alone.

Hosea 4:15-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
15 Though you, Israel, practice sexual immorality,
Judah should not follow your guilty way.
Do not go to Gilgal.
Do not go up to Beth Aven.
Do not swear, “As surely as the Lord lives.”
16 For Israel has become as stubborn as a heifer.
How can the Lord feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols.
Let him go his own way!
