Hosea 4:10-12
New International Reader's Version
10 “My people will eat.
But they will not have enough.
They will have sex with prostitutes.
But they will not have any children.
That’s because they have deserted me.
They have sex 11 with prostitutes.
They drink old wine and fresh wine.
Their drinking has destroyed their ability to understand.
12 My people ask a wooden statue of a god for advice.
They get answers from a stick of wood.
They are as unfaithful as prostitutes.
They are not faithful to their God.
Hosea 4:10-12

they will engage in prostitution(B) but not flourish,
because they have deserted(C) the Lord
to give themselves 11 to prostitution;(D)
old wine(E) and new wine
take away their understanding.(F)
12 My people consult a wooden idol,(G)
and a diviner’s rod speaks to them.(H)
A spirit of prostitution(I) leads them astray;(J)
they are unfaithful(K) to their God.
