Hosea 4:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ “But though Israel is a prostitute, may Judah stay far from such a life. O Judah, do not join with those who insincerely worship me at Gilgal and at Bethel. Their worship is mere pretense. ¹⁶ Don’t be like Israel, stubborn as a heifer, resisting the Lord’s attempts to lead her in green pastures. ¹⁷ Stay away from her, for she is wedded to idolatry.
