15 Though you, Israel, play the prostitute,
Judah must not become guilty;
Also you are not to go to (A)Gilgal,
Nor go up to Beth-aven
(B)And take the oath:
“As the Lord lives!”
16 Since Israel is (C)stubborn
Like a stubborn cow,
[a]Will the Lord now (D)pasture them
Like a lamb in a large field?
17 Ephraim is allied with (E)idols;
(F)Leave him alone.
