Hosea 4:14
New English Translation
Hosea 4:14
New English Translation
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery.
For the men consort with harlots,
they sacrifice with temple prostitutes.
It is true:[a] “A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!”
