Hosea 4:15-17
New American Standard Bible
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.

Hosea 4:15-17
New Living Translation
15 “Though you, Israel, are a prostitute,
may Judah not be guilty of such things.
Do not join the false worship at Gilgal or Beth-aven,[a]
and do not take oaths there in the Lord’s name.
16 Israel is stubborn,
like a stubborn heifer.
So should the Lord feed her
like a lamb in a lush pasture?
17 Leave Israel[b] alone,
because she is married to idolatry.
