Hosea 4:16 Context
14I will not punish your daughters when they commit whordome, nor your spouses when they commit adulterie: for themselues are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therfore the people that doth not vnderstand, shall fall. 15¶ Though thou Israel play the harlot, yet let not Iudah offend, and come not ye vnto Gilgal, neither goe ye vp to Beth-auen, nor sweare, The Lord liueth: 16For Israel slideth backe, as a backe sliding heifer: now the Lord will feede them as a lambe in a large place. 17Ephraim is ioyned to idoles: let him alone. 18Their drinke is sowre: they haue committed whordome continually: her rulers with shame doe loue, Giue ye.
