Warnings for Israel and Judah

15 Israel, if you act promiscuously,
don’t let Judah become guilty!
Do not go to Gilgal(A)
or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,[a](B)
and do not swear an oath: As the Lord lives!(C)
16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn cow.(D)
Can the Lord now shepherd them
like a lamb in an open meadow?(E)
17 Ephraim is attached to idols;(F)
leave him alone!(G)
