Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

Verse 18 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.

Sie haben sich in die Schwelgerei und Hurerei gegeben; ihre Herren haben Lust dazu, daß sie Schande anrichten.
Su bebida se corrompió; fornicaron pertinazmente: sus príncipes amaron las dádivas, afrenta de ellos.
Cuando se acaba su bebida, se entregan por completo a la prostitución; sus gobernantes aman profundamente la deshonra.
A peine ont-ils cessé de boire Qu'ils se livrent à la prostitution; Leurs chefs sont avides d'ignominie.
La lor bevanda si è rivolta, hanno fornicato senza fine; amano il Porgete; i rettori di questa nazione sono vituperosi.
A sua bebida se foi; lançaram-se à luxúria continuamente; certamente os seus governadores amam a vergonha.
他們喝完了酒, 荒淫無度, 他們的官長甚愛羞恥的事。
