15 Though you prostitute yourself, Israel,do not let Judah become guilty!Do not come to Gilgal,do not go up to Beth-aven,do not swear, “As the Lord lives!”
16 For like a stubborn cow,Israel is stubborn;Will the Lord now pasture them,like lambs in a broad meadow?
17 Ephraim is bound to idols,let him alone!
18 When their drinking is over,they give themselves to prostitution;they love shame more than their honor.
19 A wind has bound them up in its wings;they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
