Rh :And burn incense upon the hills,
 * Under oaks and poplars and elms,
 * Because the shadow thereof is good:
 * Therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom,
 * And your spouses shall commit adultery.
 * I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom,
 * Nor your spouses when they commit adultery:
 * For themselves are separated with whores,
 * And they sacrifice with harlots:
 * Therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.


 * Though thou, Israel, play the harlot,
 * Yet let not Judah offend;
 * And come not ye unto Gilgal,
 * Neither go ye up to Beth-aven,
 * Nor swear, The Lord liveth.
 * For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer:
 * Now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
 * Ephraim is joined to idols:
 * Let him alone.
 * Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually:
 * Her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
 * The wind hath bound her up in her wings,
 * And they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
