Hosea 4:16-19
King James Version
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Hosea 4:16-19
New International Version
16 The Israelites are stubborn,(A)
like a stubborn heifer.(B)
How then can the Lord pasture them
like lambs(C) in a meadow?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
leave him alone!
18 Even when their drinks are gone,
they continue their prostitution;
their rulers dearly love shameful ways.
19 A whirlwind(D) will sweep them away,
and their sacrifices will bring them shame.(E)
