Hosea 4:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
Though you, Israel, play the prostitute [by worshiping idols],
Do not let Judah become guilty [of the same thing];
And do not go to Gilgal [where idols are worshiped],
Or go up to ^[a]Beth-aven (House of Wickedness),
Nor swear [oaths in idolatrous worship, saying],
“As the Lord lives!”
¹⁶ 
For Israel is stubborn,
Like a stubborn heifer.
Can the Lord now pasture them
Like a lamb in a large field?
¹⁷ 
Ephraim is joined to idols,
So let him alone [to suffer the consequences].
