Hosea 4:13-15

New Century Version

¹³They make sacrifices on the tops of the mountains.
    They burn offerings on the hills,
under oaks, poplars, and other trees,
    because their shade is nice.
So your daughters become prostitutes,
    and your daughters-in-law are guilty of adultery.

¹⁴“But I will not punish your daughters
    for becoming prostitutes,
nor your daughters-in-law
    for their sins of adultery.
I will not punish them,
    because the men have sexual relations with prostitutes
and offer sacrifices with the temple prostitutes.
    A foolish people will be ruined.

¹⁵“Israel, you act like a prostitute,
    but do not be guilty toward the Lord.
Don’t go to Gilgal
    or go up to Beth Aven.^[a]
Don’t make promises,
    saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives . . .’
