14. “I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,Nor your brides when they commit adultery;For the men themselves go apart with harlots,And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot.Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.
15. “Though you, Israel, play the harlot,Let not Judah offend.Do not come up to Gilgal,Nor go up to Beth Aven,Nor swear an oath, saying, ‘As the Lord lives’—
16. “For Israel is stubbornLike a stubborn calf;Now the Lord will let them forageLike a lamb in open country.
17. “Ephraim is joined to idols,Let him alone.
18. Their drink is rebellion,They commit harlotry continually.Her rulers dearly love dishonor.
19. The wind has wrapped her up in its wings,And they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
