14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your daughters-in-law for their committing adultery; for they themselves go aside with harlots, and they sacrifice with prostitutes: and the people that doth not understand shall come to ruin.
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, let not Judah trespass; and come ye not unto Gilgal, neither go up to Beth-aven, nor swear As Jehovah liveth!
16 For Israel is refractory as an untractable heifer; now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a wide pasture.
17 --Ephraim is joined to idols: leave him alone.
18 Their drink is sour; they give themselves up to whoredom; her great men passionately love their shame.
19 The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
