What does Hosea 4:15 mean?

Even though you're unfaithful, Israel, don't drag Judah down with you. Don't go to Gilgal or up to Beth-aven, and don't make empty promises, saying, 'As surely as the Lord lives.' Hosea 4:15 - Modern Text Bible

(God warns Israel not to pull Judah into their mess. He tells them to stop going to places known for false worship and to quit making empty religious vows.)
