Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 4 of Hosea. Although Israel has abandoned the Lord, Hosea distinguishes Judah and urges her not to follow the same path. Gilgal and Beth-aven appear as places associated with corrupt religious practices. The wind ultimately describes the consequence of that idolatry: Israel pursues false security and ends up reaping shame. The warning serves as a call not to imitate the apostasy of the northern kingdom.
