Hosea 4:13-15
New King James Version
13 (A)They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops,
And burn incense on the hills,
Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
Because their shade is good.
(B)Therefore your daughters commit harlotry,
And your brides commit adultery.
14 “I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,
Nor your brides when they commit adultery;
For the men themselves go apart with harlots,
And offer sacrifices with a (C)ritual harlot.
Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.
15 “Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
Let not Judah offend.
(D)Do not come up to Gilgal,
Nor go up to (E)Beth[a] Aven,
(F)Nor swear an oath, saying, ‘As the Lord lives’—
