Hosea 4:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ The people of Israel are stubborn
    like a stubborn young cow.
How then can the Lord feed them
    like lambs in a meadow?
¹⁷ Israel has chosen to worship idols.
    So, let them.
¹⁸ Her rulers get drunk.
    Then they give themselves to being prostitutes.
    They love these disgraceful things.
