Hoshea 4:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ Though thou, Yisroel, play the zonah, yet let not Yehudah become guilty; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beit-Aven (House of Iniquity, pejorative name for Bethel), nor swear, Chai Hashem (As the L-rd lives).

¹⁶ For Yisroel slideth back (i.e., is stubborn, rebellious, unmanageable) like a backsliding parah (stubborn, rebellious cow); now Hashem will feed them like a lamb in a wide field.

¹⁷ Ephrayim [i.e., the Northern Kingdom, Israel] is joined to atzabim (idols); leave him alone.
