Hosea 4:11

Yahweh Has An Indictment

¹⁰ They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will be promiscuous but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.
¹¹ Promiscuity, wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding. ¹² My people consult their wooden idols,
and their divining rods inform them.
For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray;
they act promiscuously
in disobedience to their God.

and stumble under the influence of beer:

they are confused by wine.
They stumble because of beer,
they are muddled in their visions,
they stumble in their judgments.

My people consult their wooden idols,
and their divining rods inform them.
For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray;
they act promiscuously
in disobedience to their God.
