Hosea 4:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough, they shall [a]commit adultery, and shall not increase, because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 [b]Whoredom, and wine, and new wine take away their heart.
12 My [c]people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff teacheth them: for the [d]spirit of fornications hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
