Hosea 4:14
I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
Context
14I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
         Or your brides when they commit adultery,
         For the men themselves go apart with harlots
         And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
         So the people without understanding are ruined.

15Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
         Do not let Judah become guilty;
         Also do not go to Gilgal,
         Or go up to Beth-aven
         And take the oath:
         “As the LORD lives!”

16Since Israel is stubborn
         Like a stubborn heifer,
         Can the LORD now pasture them
         Like a lamb in a large field?

17Ephraim is joined to idols;
         Let him alone.

18Their liquor gone,
         They play the harlot continually;
         Their rulers dearly love shame.

19The wind wraps them in its wings,
         And they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
