Hosea 4:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 (A)They will eat, but not have enough;
They will (B)play the prostitute, but not [a]increase,
Because they (C)gave up devoting themselves to the Lord.
11 [b]Infidelity, (D)wine, and new wine take away the [c]understanding.
12 My people (E)consult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them;
For a spirit of infidelity has led them astray,
And they have been unfaithful, departing [d]from their God.
