Hosea 4:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 They will eat and not be satisfied;
they will play the whore and not multiply,
because they have forsaken Yahweh to devote themselves to
11 whoredom.[a]
Wine and new wine take away the understanding.[b]
12 My people,
consult their wooden idols,[c]
and their divining rod gives them oracles;
because a spirit of whoredom led them astray,
and they played the whore from under their God.[d]
