In context

9And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.

10And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.

— Hosea 4:11 —
