Hosea 4:16-18
Good News Translation

16 The people of Israel are as stubborn as mules. How can I feed them like lambs in a meadow? 17 The people of Israel are under the spell of idols. Let them go their own way. 18 After drinking much wine, they delight in their prostitution, preferring disgrace to honor.

Hosea 4:16-18
New International Version

16 The Israelites are stubborn,(A)
    like a stubborn heifer.(B)
How then can the Lord pasture them
    like lambs(C) in a meadow?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols;
    leave him alone!
18 Even when their drinks are gone,
    they continue their prostitution;
    their rulers dearly love shameful ways.
