What does Hosea 4:12 mean?

They ask pieces of wood for advice and expect answers from a stick. Their hearts have wandered so far that they've been led astray by their own desires. They've been unfaithful to me, trading real connection for empty rituals. Hosea 4:12 - Modern Text Bible

(The people are looking for guidance in all the wrong places, turning to idols instead of God. Their spiritual unfaithfulness is compared to cheating in a relationship.)
