Hosea 4:17-19
New Living Translation
17 Leave Israel[a] alone,
because she is married to idolatry.
18 When the rulers of Israel finish their drinking,
off they go to find some prostitutes.
They love shame more than honor.[b]
19 So a mighty wind will sweep them away.
Their sacrifices to idols will bring them shame.
