Hosea 4: 1-10

And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.(Hosea 4:10_

We eat. We may eat too much. Are we satisfied? Does our consumption fulfill us?

We indulge our senses. We surround ourselves with the sounds and sights of our choosing. We may be sexually adventuresome. We travel to exotic places.

Zanah translated here as a-whoring, literally means highly fed. Consuming too much fast food is not the only way to be highly fed.

What are the outcomes of our over-indulgence or self-indulgence? Is there "increase"? The original Hebrew is parats meaning to break through, burst, breach, overflow, break out, or transcend.

Unless we pay heed (very careful attention) to Jehovah - the existing one, that which exists, ultimate reality - these choices are a dead end, quite literally.
