“ I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters- in- law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes— a people without understanding will come to ruin!

They offer sacrifices where temple prostitutes earn their living. People who can’t understand will be destroyed!

Hear the word of the LORD, people of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the inhabitants of the land: There is no truth, no faithful love, and no knowledge of God in the land!

Ephraim is attached to idols; leave him alone!

He also tore down the houses of the male cult prostitutes that were in the LORD’s temple, in which the women were weaving tapestries for Asherah.

There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

Let whoever is wise understand these things, and whoever is insightful recognize them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree;there were even male cult prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had dispossessed before the Israelites.

“ No Israelite woman is to be a cult prostitute, and no Israelite man is to be a cult prostitute.

Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep on rebelling? The whole head is hurt, and the whole heart is sick.

He banished the male cult prostitutes from the land and removed all of the idols that his ancestors had made.

Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to my word.

Such people do not comprehend and cannot understand, for he has shut their eyes so they cannot see, and their minds so they cannot understand.No one comes to his senses; no one has the perception or insight to say,“ I burned half of it in the fire, I also baked bread on its coals, I roasted meat and ate. Should I make something detestable with the rest of it? Should I bow down to a block of wood?”He feeds on ashes. His deceived mind has led him astray, and he cannot rescue himself, or say,“ Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.

But if you are without discipline— which all receive— then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

The evil do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand everything.

These dogs have fierce appetites; they never have enough. And they are shepherds who have no discernment; all of them turn to their own way, every last one for his own profit.

You will stumble by day; the prophet will also stumble with you by night. And I will destroy your mother.My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as my priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons.
