People without understanding will come to ruin

Hosea 4:12-19
I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughter-in -law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine(神社) prostitutes - people without understanding will come to ruin.
Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
Pagan religion with its temple prostitutes brought in its wake sexual degradation(退化) and the breakdown of law and order in society (the basic Ten Commandments are being broken). The priests, who failed to make God's laws known and feathered their own nests into the bargain, and the men of Israel are responsible for what has happened. God holds them accountable.
Why?
Israelites worship the idols in stead of the Lord is prostitution, for they gave up, abandoned their original covenant with the Lord.
Israelite worship idols but they came to Gilgal and Bethel, they though they were doing the worship to the Lord. They treated God and idols are the same.
The problem are people do not knowledge and understanding to what they have done.
How?
Be aware of what I am walking on the way of God or others.
