My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray; they act promiscuously in disobedience to their God.

New American Standard Bible
My people consult their wooden idol, and their [diviner's] wand informs them; For a spirit of harlotry has led [them] astray, And they have played the harlot, [departing] from their God.

My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, departing from under their God.
