“When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.”
Hosea 4:18 (BSB)
Context Reading
16For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow? 17Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! 18When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace. 19The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
