Hosea 4:12

[Verses 12a–13 form a chiasm framed by wood and "under trees":] My people consult their wood [carved idols made of wood, see Isa. 44:15 or an Asherah pole, see Isa. 17:8] and their staffs tell them [expressions for various divination arts],
for the spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have turned away from submitting to their God (Elohim).
