Hosea 4 Description of Israel’s idolatry Wine and new wine destroy understanding. 12My people take advice from a piece of wood, and their divining rod gives them predictions. A spirit of prostitution has led them astray; they have left God to follow other gods. 13They offer sacrifices on mountaintops, and make entirely burned offerings on hills; they offer sacrifices under various green trees, because their shade is pleasant. Therefore, your daughters act like prostitutes, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. 14I will not punish your daughters because they act like prostitutes, nor your daughters-in-law because they commit adultery; for the men themselves visit prostitutes, and offer sacrifices with consecrated workers at temples; so now the people without sense must come to ruin. 15Israel, even though you act like a prostitute, don’t let Judah become guilty. Don’t enter into Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, and don’t swear, “As the LORD lives.” 16Like a stubborn cow Israel is stubborn. Now the LORD will tend them, as the LORD tends a lamb in a pasture. 17Ephraim is associated with idols— let him alone! 18Though they have stopped drinking, they continue to behave like prostitutes; indeed, they “love”; shame is their pride. 19The wind has wrapped her in its wings; they will be ashamed of their sacrifices. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. https://temtube.com/
