14. Therefore commit whoredom do your daughters, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with thewhores they do sacrifice, A people that doth not understand kicketh.
15. Though a harlot thou [art], O Israel, Let not Judah become guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth.
16. For as a refractory heifer hath Israel turned aside, Now doth Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place.
17. Joined to idols [is] Ephraim, let him alone.
18. Sour [is] their drink, They have gone diligently a-whoring, Her protectors have loved shame thoroughly.
