Hosea4:13
13. upon ... mountains--High places were selected by idolaters on which to sacrifice, because of their greater nearness to the heavenly hosts which they worshipped (De 12:2).
elms--rather, "terebinths" [Maurer].
shadow ... good--screening the lascivious worshippers from the heat of the sun.
daughters ... commit whoredom ... spouses ... adultery--in the polluted worship of Astarte, the Phoenician goddess of love.
