Hoshea 4:13-15
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because the shade thereof is tov; therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your daughters-in-law shall commit ni’uf (adultery).
14 I will not visit punishment upon your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit ni’uf (adultery); because the men consort with zonot, and they sacrifice with kedeshot (temple prostitutes); thus the Am without binah (understanding) shall come to ruin.
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).

Hosea 4:13-15
New International Version
13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops
and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak,(A) poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.(B)
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution(C)
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,
because the men themselves consort with harlots(E)
and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes(F)—
a people without understanding(G) will come to ruin!(H)
15 “Though you, Israel, commit adultery,
do not let Judah become guilty.
