“ ‘How your heart was inflamed with lust[fn] — the declaration of the Lord GOD — when you did all these things, the acts of a brazen prostitute,
“building your mound at the head of every street and making your elevated place in every square. But you were unlike a prostitute because you scorned payment.
“Men give gifts to all prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from all around for your sexual favors.

“Then I said concerning this woman worn out by adultery: Will they[fn] now have illicit sex with her, even her?
“Yet they had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. This is how they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those depraved women.
When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, he said this to him:
Go and marry a woman of promiscuity,
and have children of promiscuity,
for the land is committing blatant acts of promiscuity
by abandoning the LORD.
Yes, their mother is promiscuous;
she conceived them and acted shamefully.
For she thought, “I will follow my lovers,
the men who give me my food and water,
my wool and flax, my oil and drink.”
I said to her, “You are to live with me many days. You must not be promiscuous or belong to any man, and I will act the same way toward you.”

and their divining rods inform them.
For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray;
they act promiscuously
in disobedience to[fn] their God.
They sacrifice on the mountaintops,
and they burn offerings on the hills,
and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
because their shade is pleasant.
And so your daughters act promiscuously
and your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
I will not punish your daughters
when they act promiscuously
or your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
for the men themselves go off with prostitutes
and make sacrifices with cult prostitutes.

or make a pilgrimage to Beth-aven,[fn]
and do not swear an oath: As the LORD lives!

Israel is defiled.

for you have acted promiscuously, leaving your God.
You love the wages of a prostitute
on every grain-threshing floor.
They cast lots for my people;
they bartered a boy for a prostitute
and sold a girl for wine to drink.
Therefore, this is what the LORD says:
Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,
your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,
and your land will be divided up
with a measuring line.
You yourself will die on pagan[fn] soil,
and Israel will certainly go into exile
from its homeland.
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;
all her wages will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,
they will be used again for a prostitute.
