Hosea 4:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴ “I will not punish your daughters
    when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
    when they commit adultery,
because the men themselves consort with harlots^(A)
    and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes^(B)—
    a people without understanding^(C) will come to ruin!^(D)

¹⁵ “Though you, Israel, commit adultery,
    do not let Judah become guilty.

“Do not go to Gilgal;^(E)
    do not go up to Beth Aven.^[a](F)
    And do not swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’^(G)
16 The Israelites are stubborn,^(H)
    like a stubborn heifer.^(I)
How then can the Lord pasture them
    like lambs^(J) in a meadow?
