Hosea 4:17
Berean Standard Bible
Ephraim * is joined to idols; leave him alone!
Context
15Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel,
may Judah avoid such guilt!
Do not journey to Gilgal,
do not go up to Beth-aven,*
and do not swear on oath,
‘As surely as the LORD lives!’ 16For Israel is as obstinate
as a stubborn heifer.
Can the LORD now shepherd them
like lambs in an open meadow? 17Ephraim * is joined to idols;
leave him alone! 18When their liquor is gone,
they turn to prostitution;
their rulers * dearly love disgrace. 19The whirlwind has wrapped them * in its wings,
and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
