Verse 11 is found in chapter 4 of Hosea. Wine, prostitution, and idolatry appear together as expressions of a community that has lost discernment. Israel consults trees and seeks answers through practices foreign to the Lord. Hosea also denounces ritual prostitution and the unfaithfulness of women and men. The prophet does not present idolatry as merely an intellectual matter, but as a force that disorders moral and family life.

Hurerei, Wein und Most machen toll.
Fornicación, y vino, y mosto quitan el corazón.
La prostitución, el vino y el vino nuevo quitan el juicio.
La prostitution, le vin et le moût, font perdre le sens.
La fornicazione, e il vino, e il mosto, tolgono il senno
A luxúria, e o vinho, e o mosto tiram o coração.
淫亂。 酒和新酒奪去人的心。
