Hosea 4:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 whoredom.[a]
Wine and new wine take away the understanding.[b]
12 My people,
consult their wooden idols,[c]
and their divining rod gives them oracles;
because a spirit of whoredom led them astray,
and they played the whore from under their God.[d]
13 On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice,
and on the hills they make offerings,
under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
because their[e] shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
and all your daughters-in-law[f] commit adultery.
