Hosea 4:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 4:16

14 “I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,
Nor your brides when they commit adultery;
For the men themselves go apart with harlots,
And offer sacrifices with a ^aritual harlot.
Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.

15 “Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
Let not Judah offend.
^aDo not come up to Gilgal,
Nor go up to ^bBeth Aven,
^cNor swear an oath, saying, ‘As the Lord lives’—

16 “For Israel ^ais stubborn
Like a stubborn calf;
Now the Lord will let them forage
Like a lamb in¹ open country.

17 “Ephraim is joined to idols,
^aLet him alone.

18 Their drink¹ is rebellion,
They commit harlotry continually.
^aHer¹ rulers dearly love dishonor.
