13. They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because its shadow is good: therefore your daughters shall commit harlotry, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14. I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for the men themselves are gone apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with prostitutes: therefore the people that do not understand shall fall.
15. Though you, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not unto Gilgal, neither go up to Bethaven, nor swear, As the LORD lives.
16. For Israel slides back like a stubborn heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in an open pasture.
17. Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
18. Their drink is sour: they have committed harlotry continually: her rulers love shame more than glory.
19. The wind has bound her up in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
