Hosea 4:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷Leave Israel^[a] alone,
    because she is married to idolatry.
¹⁸When the rulers of Israel finish their drinking,
    off they go to find some prostitutes.
    They love shame more than honor.^[b]
¹⁹So a mighty wind will sweep them away.
    Their sacrifices to idols will bring them shame.
