4:6 You have destroyed
by failing to acknowledge me!
Because you refuse to acknowledge me,
I will reject you as my priests.
Because you reject
I will reject
4:12 They consult their wooden idols,
and their diviner’s staff answers with an oracle.
The wind of prostitution blows them astray;
they commit spiritual adultery
9:1 O Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly
for you are unfaithful
You love to receive a prostitute's wages
on all the floors where you thresh your grain.
10:5 The inhabitants
Its people will mourn over it;
its idolatrous priests will wail
because its splendor will be taken from them
10:14 The roar of battle will rise against your people;
all your fortresses will be devastated,
just as Shalman devastated
when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.
