Hosea 4:14

Spanish RVR 1909 (Más información sobre Biblia Reina Valera 1909)

No visitaré sobre vuestras hijas cuando fornicaren, ni sobre vuestras nueras cuando adulteraren: porque ellos ofrecen con las rameras, y con las malas mujeres sacrifican: por tanto, el pueblo sin entendimiento caerá.

¿Qué significa esto?

In Hosea 4:14, God speaks and says He will not punish daughters for whoredom or spouses for adultery because the people have already chosen to separate themselves from Him by sacrificing with harlots. The message is that those who do not understand this consequence will fall.

Explicado para niños

Imagine you have a friend who always breaks your toys, but instead of telling them it's wrong, you just let them keep doing it. That’s kind of like what God is saying here. He won’t punish people for their bad choices because they’ve already chosen to do things that make Him sad.
