Hosea 4:15-17
Modern English Version
15 Though you play the whore, O Israel,
do not let Judah offend.
Do not come to Gilgal,
or go up to Beth Aven,
and do not swear, “As the Lord lives.”
16 Like a stubborn heifer,
Israel is stubborn.
Now will the Lord feed them
like a lamb in a wide pasture?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
let him alone.
Hosea 4:15-17
Authorized (King James) Version
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,
yet let not Judah offend;
and come not ye unto Gilgal,
neither go ye up to Beth-aven,
nor swear, The Lord liveth.
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer:
now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
