Hosea 4:14-16
Christian Standard Bible
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(A)
and make sacrifices with cult prostitutes.(B)
People without discernment are doomed.(C)
Warnings for Israel and Judah
15 Israel, if you act promiscuously,
don’t let Judah become guilty!
Do not go to Gilgal(D)
or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,[a](E)
and do not swear an oath: As the Lord lives!(F)
16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn cow.(G)
Can the Lord now shepherd them
like a lamb in an open meadow?(H)
