12  My people cask counsel at their dstocks,

And etheir staff declareth unto them:

For fthe spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err,

And they have gone a whoring from under their God.

13  gThey sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains,

And burn incense upon the hills,

Under hoaks and ipoplars and kelms,

Because the shadow thereof is good:

Therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom,

And lyour spouses shall commit adultery.

14  ||I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom,

Nor your spouses when they commit adultery:

For themselves mare separated with whores,

And they sacrifice with harlots:

Therefore nthe people that doth not understand shall ||fall.

15  Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,

Yet let not Judah nnoffend;

And come not ye unto opGilgal,

Neither go ye up to pqBeth-aven,

rNor swear, The Lord liveth.

16  For Israel sslideth back tas a backsliding heifer:

Now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

17  uEphraim is joined to idols:

vLet him alone.

18  Their drink †is sour: they have committed whoredom continually:

wHer †rulers with shame do love, xGive ye.

19  yThe wind hath bound her up in zher wings,

And athey shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
