Hosea 4:1-9

11ListenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, O sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, For the LordH3068 has a 2caseH7379 againstH5973 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, BecauseH3588 thereH369 is 3noH369 4faithfulnessH571 or 5kindnessH2617 Or 6knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.2There is 7swearingH422, 8deceptionH3584, 9murderH7523, 10stealingH1589 and 11adulteryH5003. They employH6555 violenceH6555, so that 12bloodshedH1818 13followsH5060 bloodshedH1818.3ThereforeH5921H3651 the landH776 14mournsH56, And everyoneH3605 who livesH3427 in it languishesH535 Along with the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 and the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064, And alsoH1571 the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 15disappearH622.

4YetH389 let noH408 oneH376 1617findH7378 faultH7378, and let noneH408H376 offerH3198 reproofH3198; For your peopleH5971 are like those who 18contendH7378 with the priestH3548.5So you will 19stumbleH3782 by dayH3117, And the prophetH5030 alsoH1571 will stumbleH3782 with you by nightH3915; And I will destroyH1820 your 20motherH517.621My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lackH369 of knowledgeH1847. BecauseH3588 you have 22rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I also will 23rejectH3988 you from being My priestH3547. Since you have 24forgottenH7911 the 25lawH8451 of your GodH430, I alsoH1571 will forgetH7911 your childrenH1121.

7The more they 26multipliedH7231, the moreH3651 they sinnedH2398 against Me; I will 27changeH4171 their gloryH3519 into shameH7036.8They 28feedH398 on the 29sinH2403 of My peopleH5971 And 30directH5375 their desireH5315 towardH413 their iniquityH5771.9And it will be, like peopleH5971, 31like priestH3548; So I will 32punishH6485 them for their waysH1870 And repayH7725 them for their deedsH4611.
