Hosea 4:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops,(A)
and they burn offerings on the hills,(B)
and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,(C)
because their shade is pleasant.
And so your daughters act promiscuously
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters
when they act promiscuously
or your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
for the men themselves go off with prostitutes(D)
and make sacrifices with cult prostitutes.(E)
People without discernment are doomed.(F)
Warnings for Israel and Judah
15 Israel, if you act promiscuously,
don’t let Judah become guilty!
Do not go to Gilgal(G)
or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,[a](H)
and do not swear an oath: As the Lord lives!(I)
