New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Hosea 4
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot Or your brides when they commit adultery, For the men themselves go apart with harlots And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.
15 Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judah become guilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath: "As the Lord lives!"
16 Since Israel is stubborn Like a stubborn heifer, Can the Lord now pasture them Like a lamb in a large field?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols; Let him alone.
18 Their liquor gone, They play the harlot continually; Their rulers dearly love shame.
19 The wind wraps them in its wings, And they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Hosea 5
1 Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 The revolters have gone deep in depravity, But I will chastise all of them.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.
4 Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the Lord.
5 Moreover, the pride of Israel testifies against him, And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also has stumbled with them.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
