15 Si fornicares tú, Israel, á lo menos no peque Judá: y no entréis en Gilgal, ni subáis á Beth-aven; ni juréis, Vive Jehová.

16 Porque como becerra cerrera se apartó Israel: ¿apacentarálos ahora Jehová como á carneros en anchura?

17 Ephraim es dado á ídolos; déjalo.

18 Su bebida se corrompió; fornicaron pertinazmente: sus príncipes amaron las dádivas, afrenta [de ellos].

19 Atóla el viento en sus alas, y de sus sacrificios serán avergonzados.
