Hosea 4:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 My people,
consult their wooden idols,[a]
and their divining rod gives them oracles;
because a spirit of whoredom led them astray,
and they played the whore from under their God.[b]
13 On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice,
and on the hills they make offerings,
under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
because their[c] shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
and all your daughters-in-law[d] commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters[e] when they play the whore,
or your daughters-in-law[f] when they commit adultery;
because they go aside with whores,
and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes,
a people that does not understand comes to ruin.

Hosea 4:12-14
Common English Bible
12 My people take advice from a piece of wood,
and their divining rod gives them predictions.
A spirit of prostitution has led them astray;
they have left God to follow other gods.
13 They offer sacrifices on mountaintops,
and make entirely burned offerings on hills;
they offer sacrifices under various green trees,
because their shade is pleasant.
Therefore, your daughters act like prostitutes,
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters because they act like prostitutes,
nor your daughters-in-law because they commit adultery;
for the men themselves visit prostitutes,
and offer sacrifices with consecrated workers at temples;
so now the people without sense must come to ruin.
