15. Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As the LORD liveth.
16. For Israel hath behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now will the LORD feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17. Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
18. Their drink is become sour: they commit whoredom continually; her rulers dearly love shame.
19. The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
