12 My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit {ruach} of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God {Elohehem}. 13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your⁺ daughters turn to prostitution and your⁺ daughters-in-law to adultery. 14 I will not punish your⁺ daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your⁺ daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin. Hosea 4:12-14, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
