Hosea 4:15 in Context — Hosea 4

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.

15 Se tu, Israel, queres te prostituir, [ao menos] não faças Judá culpado. Não venhais a Gilgal, nem subais a Bete-Áven; nem jureis: Vive o SENHOR.

16 Porque Israel se rebelou como bezerra teimosa; agora o SENHOR os apascentará como a um cordeiro num campo extenso.

17 Efraim se associou a ídolos; deixa-o.
