New Testament

Hosea 4:7-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me.I will change their honor into disgrace.

8. They feed on the sin of My people; they have an appetite for their transgressions.

9. The same judgment will happento both people and priests. I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

10. They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply.For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.

11. Promiscuity, wine, and new winetake away one’s understanding.

12. My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them.For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray; they act promiscuously in disobedience to their God.

13. They sacrifice on the mountaintops, and they burn offerings on the hills, and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because their shade is pleasant.And so your daughters act promiscuouslyand your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
