Hosea 4:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹And it shall be like people, like priest;
    I will punish them for their ways,
    and requite them for their deeds.
¹⁰They shall eat, but not be satisfied;
    they shall play the harlot, but not multiply;
because they have forsaken the Lord
    to cherish harlotry.

The Idolatry of Israel

¹¹Wine and new wine
take away the understanding.
