Hosea 4:14-16
International Standard Version
14 However, I’m not going to punish your daughters
when they commit prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
because their men are themselves immoral—
they offer sacrifices with prostitutes.
These people who aren’t discerning will stumble.
15 “Even though you prostitute yourself, Israel—
let not Judah incur guilt—
don’t go to Gilgal,
or visit Beth-aven,
or swear an oath using the Lord’s name.[a]
16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn mule![b]
Nevertheless, will not the Lord feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?
