I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

ગુજરાતીહોશિયા ૪:૧૪
જ્યારે તમારી દીકરીઓ વ્યભિચાર કરશે, કે તમારી પુત્રવધૂઓ અનૈતિક કર્મ કરશે ત્યારે હું તેઓને શિક્ષા કરીશ નહિ. કેમ કે પુરુષો પોતે જ ગણિકાઓ સાથે વ્યવહાર રાખે છે , દેવદાસીઓની સાથે મંદિરમાં યજ્ઞો કરે છે. આ રીતે જે લોકો સમજતા નથી તેઓનો વિનાશ થશે.
हिन्दीहोशे ४:१४
जब तुम्हारी बेटियाँ छिनाला और तुम्हारी बहुएँ व्यभिचार करें, तब मैं उनको दण्ड न दूँगा; क्योंकि मनुष्य आप ही वेश्याओं के साथ एकान्त में जाते, और देवदासियों के साथी होकर यज्ञ करते हैं; और जो लोग समझ नहीं रखते, वे नाश हो जाएँगे।

In context

12My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.

13They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.

14I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

15“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As the LORD lives.’

16For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will the LORD feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
