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

Hosea 4:12-14

12 My people consult a wooden idol,(A)
and a diviner’s rod speaks to them.(B)
A spirit of prostitution(C) leads them astray;(D)
they are unfaithful(E) to their God.
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops
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)

Hosea 4:12-14

12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
