Context
The Willful Donkey and the Wanton Harlot

like a wild donkey that wanders off.

Ephraim has hired prostitutes as lovers. 2 

1 tn Heb “their altars” (so NAB, NRSV) or “their sacrifices” (so KJV, NASB, NIV). Here זִבְחוֹתָם (zivkhotam, “altars; sacrifices”) is a metonymy of association for Israel’s apostate idolatrous Baal worship.

2 tn Or “has hired herself out to lovers”; cf. NIV “has sold herself to lovers.”
