## Hosea 4:18-19 in Context (Verses 15–19 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/hosea/4/15) ¶ 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/hosea/4/16) For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/hosea/4/17) Ephraim *is* joined to idols: let him alone.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/hosea/4/18) Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers *with* shame do love, Give ye.**
 
 [19 ](/kjv/hosea/4/19) The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
 
[Hosea 3](/kjv/hosea/3) [Hosea 5](/kjv/hosea/5)
