The King James Version Bible

Hosea 4:15-19

  1. Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

  2. For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

  3. Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

  4. Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

  5. The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
