Hosea 4:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ They’ll eat, but they won’t be satisfied; they’ll be active like whores, but have no children
because they’ve rebelled in guarding Me and My ways.

¹¹    Through prostitution, wine, and new wine,
        My people have lost their senses;
¹²    They expect to hear oracles from a wooden idol,
        to get guidance from a diviner’s wand!
    For a spirit of prostitution is leading them astray—
        that’s why they’re so unfaithful to their God and are becoming prostitutes.
