They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
Hacen sacrificios en las cimas de los montes y queman incienso en las colinas, bajo robles y álamos porque la sombra es agradable. Por eso sus hijas se prostituyen y sus nueras cometen adulterio.
La idolatría de los padres lleva a la degradación moral de sus familias.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the prophet Hosea was delivering God's message to the northern kingdom of Israel, which had turned to idolatry and abandoned their covenant with God. The people were engaging in pagan rituals, such as offering sacrifices on mountain tops and under shady trees like oaks and poplars, which were associated with Canaanite fertility cults and believed to be spiritually powerful. This unfaithfulness led to moral decay, including widespread sexual immorality, as God warned that such behavior would bring judgment on the nation.
