Hosea 4:10 - 4:14

10
They will eat, but not be satisfied;
They will play the harlot, but not break forth in number,
Because they have forsaken Yahweh to keep harlotry.

11
Harlotry, wine, and new wine take away a heart of wisdom.
12
My people ask their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand declares to them;
For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray,
And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.
13
They offer sacrifices on the tops of the mountains
And burn incense on the hills,
Under oak, poplar, and terebinth
Because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the harlot,
And your brides commit adultery.
14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with cult prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.
