Hosea 4:11-14

English Standard Version

     ¹¹ whoredom, wine, and new wine,
    which ^(A)take away the understanding.
¹² My people ^(B)inquire of a piece of wood,
    and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For ^(C)a spirit of whoredom has led them astray,
    and they have left their God to play the whore.
^13 (D)They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
    and burn offerings on the hills,
^(E)under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
    because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
    and your brides commit adultery.
¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
    nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for ^(F)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
    and sacrifice with ^(G)cult prostitutes,
and a people ^(H)without understanding shall come to ruin.
