Verse 14
Hosea 4:14
Bible in Basic English
14
I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.

לֹֽא אֶפְק֨וֹד עַל בְּנוֹתֵי/כֶ֜ם כִּ֣י תִזְנֶ֗ינָה וְ/עַל כַּלּֽוֹתֵי/כֶם֙ כִּ֣י תְנָאַ֔פְנָה כִּי הֵם֙ עִם הַ/זֹּנ֣וֹת יְפָרֵ֔דוּ וְ/עִם הַ/קְּדֵשׁ֖וֹת יְזַבֵּ֑חוּ וְ/עָ֥ם לֹֽא יָבִ֖ין יִלָּבֵֽט
English Translation
I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for they engage with the prostitutes and sacrifice with the sacred prostitutes, and a people will not understand and will be confused.
