Hosea 4:11

Yahweh Has An Indictment

¹⁰ For they shall eat and not have enough. They shall fornicate and not increase, because they have stopped taking heed to Jehovah. ¹¹ Fornication and wine and new wine take away the heart. ¹² My people seek advice from their wooden idols, and their rod declares to them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to go astray, and they have gone lusting away from under their God.
