Hosea 4:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 My people consult a piece of wood,
and their divining rod gives them oracles.
For a spirit of prostitution has led them astray,
and they have prostituted themselves, forsaking their God.(A)
13 They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
and make offerings upon the hills,
under oak, poplar, and terebinth
because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters prostitute themselves,
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.(B)
14 I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves
nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery,
for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
and sacrifice with female attendants;
thus a people without understanding comes to ruin.(C)
Hosea 4:12-14

and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak,(F) poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.(G)
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution(H)
and your daughters-in-law to adultery.(I)
