My peopleconsult their wooden idol, and their diviner's wandinforms them; For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.
13
They offersacrifices on the tops of the mountains And burnincense on the hills, Underoak, poplar and terebinth, Because their shade is pleasant. Therefore* your daughtersplay the harlot And your bridescommitadultery.
14
I will not punish your daughterswhen they play the harlot Or your brideswhen they commitadultery, For the men themselvesgoapart with harlots And offersacrifices with templeprostitutes; So the peoplewithoutunderstanding are ruined.
15
Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judahbecomeguilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath: "As the LORDlives!"
