Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery. 004:014 I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin. 004:015 "Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don't let Judah offend; and don't come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, 'As Yahweh lives.' 004:016 For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow. 004:017 Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone! 004:018 Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way. 004:019 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices. 005:001 "Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor. 005:002 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them. 005:003 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled. 005:004 Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don't know Yahweh. 005:005 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them. 005:006 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them. 005:007 They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields. 005:008 "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin! 005:009 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be. 005:010 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water. 005:011 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols. 005:012 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness. 005:013 "When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound. 005:014 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away.
