Hosea 4:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ I will not punish your daughters because they act like prostitutes,
        nor your daughters-in-law because they commit adultery;
    for the men themselves visit prostitutes,
        and offer sacrifices with consecrated workers at temples;
    so now the people without sense must come to ruin.
¹⁵ Israel, even though you act like a prostitute,
        don’t let Judah become guilty.
    Don’t enter into Gilgal,
        or go up to Beth-aven,
        and don’t swear, “As the Lord lives.”
¹⁶ Like a stubborn cow Israel is stubborn.
Now the Lord will tend them,^[a]
        as the Lord tends a lamb in a pasture.
