²² The ^(A)iniquities of the wicked ^(B)ensnare him,
    and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.

     ¹¹ whoredom, wine, and new wine,
    which ^(A)take away the understanding.
¹² My people ^(B)inquire of a piece of wood,
    and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For ^(C)a spirit of whoredom has led them astray,
    and they have left their God to play the whore.
^13 (D)They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
    and burn offerings on the hills,
^(E)under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
    because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
    and your brides commit adultery.
¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
    nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for ^(F)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
    and sacrifice with ^(G)cult prostitutes,
and a people ^(H)without understanding shall come to ruin.

⁵ The righteousness of the blameless ^(A)keeps his way straight,
    but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.

³¹ therefore they shall eat ^(A)the fruit of their way,
    and have ^(B)their fill of their own devices.
³² For the simple are killed by ^(C)their turning away,
    and ^(D)the complacency of fools destroys them;

¹⁸ but these men ^(A)lie in wait for their own blood;
    they ^(B)set an ambush for their own lives.
