12 My people consult their wooden idols,

Doing what their staff* tells them;

Because the spirit of prostitution* causes them to go astray,

And by their prostitution* they refuse to submit to their God.

 7 They trample the heads of the lowly into the dust of the earth,+

And they block the path of the meek.+

A man and his father have relations with the same girl,

Profaning my holy name.
