The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Verse 19 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.

Der Wind mit seinen Flügeln wird sie zusammen wegtreiben; sie müssen über ihrem Opfer zu Schanden werden.
Atola el viento en sus alas, y de sus sacrificios serán avergonzados.
El viento la ha envuelto en sus alas, y ellos serán avergonzados por sus sacrificios».
Le vent les enveloppera de ses ailes, Et ils auront honte de leurs sacrifices.
Il vento se la legherà nelle ale, ed essi saranno svergognati de’ lor sacrificii
Um vento os envolveu nas suas asas, e envergonhar-se-ão por causa dos seus sacrifícios.
風把他們捲在翅膀裏, 他們必因所獻的祭 蒙羞。
