Hosea 4:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Israel's people have turned against the Lord. They are like a young cow that refuses to obey its owner. So how can the Lord take care of them? Will he put them in a big field to eat the grass like lambs? ¹⁷ The people of Israel enjoy their idols. Do not go near them! ¹⁸ After they have drunk enough wine, they are happy to sleep with prostitutes. They enjoy doing things that should make them ashamed.
