Hosea 4:13-15
Tree of Life Version
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops
and on the high places they burn incense
under oak poplar, and terebinth—
for its shade is good.
Therefore your daughters are prostitutes
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
14 Will I not punish your daughters for prostitution
or your daughters-in-law for adultery?
For they consort with prostitutes,
and they sacrifice with cult prostitutes.
A people without understanding
will be thrust down.
15 Though you, Israel, are a prostitute,
let Judah not become guilty.
But do not come to Gilgal
or go up to Beth-aven,[a]
and do not swear: ‘As Adonai lives!’

and your daughters-in-law to adultery.(D)
14 “I will not punish your daughters
when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,

do not let Judah become guilty.
