Hosea 4:18

16 For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?

17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!

When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.

19 The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
