14. Will I not punish your daughters for prostitution or your daughters-in-law for adultery? For they consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with cult prostitutes. A people without understanding will be thrust down.
15. Though you, Israel, are a prostitute, let Judah not become guilty. But do not come to Gilgal or go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear: ‘As Adonai lives!’
16. For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn cow. Now Adonai will pasture them like a lamb in the open field.
17. Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone!
18. Their liquor has come to an end. They surely have practiced prostitution. Her rulers have deeply loved disgrace.
19. A wind will wrap her up in its wings. They will be ashamed of their sacrifices.
