Hosea 4:12 in Context — Hosea 4
10 E comerão, mas não se fartarão; eles se prostituirão, mas não se multiplicarão, porque abandonaram ao SENHOR,
11 Para buscarem a prostituição, o vinho, e o mosto, que tiram o entendimento.
12 Meu povo consulta a seu pedaço de madeira, e seu bastão lhes dá resposta, porque o espírito de prostituições o engana, para se prostituírem contra o Deus deles.
13 Sobre os topos dos montes sacrificam, e queimam incenso sobre os morros, debaixo de carvalhos, álamos, e olmeiros que tenham boa sombra; por isso vossas filhas se prostituem, e vossas noras cometem adultério.
14 Eu não punirei vossas filhas que se prostituem, nem vossas noras que cometem adultério; porque os próprios homens se juntam com as mulheres promíscuas, e fazem sacrifícios com as prostitutas de ritos idólatras; de fato, o povo sem entendimento se arruína.
