Keluaran 23:33

23:33 They must not live in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare¹ to you.”

Mazmur 73:27

73:27 Yes,² look! Those far from you³ die;

you destroy everyone who is unfaithful to you.⁴

and unfaithful in their actions.⁵

Idolatrous Israel Will Be Punished Like a Prostitute

2:2 Plead earnestly⁶ with your⁷ mother

(for⁸ she is not my wife, and I am not her husband),

so that⁹ she might put an end to her adulterous lifestyle,¹⁰

and turn away from her sexually immoral behavior.¹¹

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 adultery¹² against their God.

4:13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops,

and burn offerings on the hills;

they sacrifice¹³ under oak, poplar, and terebinth,

because their shade is so pleasant.

As a result, your daughters have become cult prostitutes,

and your daughters-in-law commit adultery!

4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution,

nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery.

For the men consort with harlots,

they sacrifice with temple prostitutes.

It is true:¹⁴ “A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!”
