15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they iwhore after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and you are jinvited, you eat of his sacrifice,
7 So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to agoat bdemons, after whom they cwhore. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.
16 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and uwhore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will forsake me and break my covenant that I have made with them.
17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they ywhored after other gods and bowed down to them. They zsoon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so.
20 “For long ago I ybroke your yoke
and burst your bonds;
but you said, ‘I will not serve.’
Yes, zon every high hill
and under every green tree
you bowed down alike a whore.
9 then those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken over their hwhoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes that go whoring after their idols. And they will be iloathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations.

2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, g“Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great hwhoredom by forsaking the Lord.”
