Hosea 4:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer.
    Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.
¹⁷ Ephraim is joined to idols.
    Leave him alone!
¹⁸ Their drink has become sour.
    They play the prostitute continually.
    Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
