Hosea 4:15–19

[15] Though you play the whore, O Israel,

let not Judah become guilty.

Enter not into Gilgal,

nor go up to 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] Ephraim is joined to idols;

leave him alone.

[18] When their drink is gone, they give themselves to whoring;

their rulers dearly love shame.

[19] A wind has wrapped them in its wings,

and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
