• Hosea 4:1-2
  Hear the word of the LORD,
  You children of Israel,
  For the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
  "There is no truth or mercy
  Or knowledge of God in the land.
  By swearing and lying,
  Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
  They break all restraint,
  With bloodshed upon bloodshed.
  
   
• Hosea 4:11-12
  "Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
  My people ask counsel from their wooden idols,
  And their staff informs them.
  For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray,
  And they have played the harlot against their God.
  
   
• Hosea 7:1-4
  "When I would have healed Israel,
  Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered,
  And the wickedness of Samaria.
  For they have committed fraud;
  A thief comes in;
  A band of robbers takes spoil outside.
  They do not consider in their hearts
  That I remember all their wickedness;
  Now their own deeds have surrounded them;
  They are before My face.
  They make a king glad with their wickedness,
  And princes with their lies.
  " They are all adulterers.
  Like an oven heated by a baker—
  He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
  Until it is leavened.
  
   
• Amos 2:4
  Thus says the LORD:
  " For three transgressions of Judah, and for four,
  I will not turn away its punishment,
  Because they have despised the law of the LORD,
  And have not kept His commandments.
  Their lies lead them astray,
  Lies which their fathers followed.
  
   
• 2 Corinthians 6:14-17
  Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
  "I will dwell in them
  And walk among them.
  I will be their God,
  And they shall be My people."
  Therefore "Come out from among them
  And be separate, says the Lord.
  Do not touch what is unclean,
  And I will receive you."
  
   
• Jeremiah 5:7-8
  "How shall I pardon you for this?
  Your children have forsaken Me
  And sworn by those that are not gods.
  When I had fed them to the full,
  Then they committed adultery
  And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
  They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
  Every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.
  
   
• 1 John 2:15-16
  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
