15 Though you play the whore, O (A)Israel,
    let not (B)Judah become guilty.
(C)Enter not into (D)Gilgal,
    nor go up to (E)Beth-aven,
    and swear not, “As the Lord lives.”
16 Like a stubborn heifer,
    Israel is stubborn;
can the Lord now feed them
    like a lamb in a broad pasture?

17 (F)Ephraim is joined to idols;
    (G)leave him alone.

15 Though you, Israel, play the prostitute,
Judah must not become guilty;
Also you are not to go to (A)Gilgal,
Nor go up to Beth-aven
(B)And take the oath:
“As the Lord lives!”
16 Since Israel is (C)stubborn
Like a stubborn cow,
[a]Will the Lord now (D)pasture them
Like a lamb in a large field?
17 Ephraim is allied with (E)idols;
(F)Leave him alone.
