Hosea 4:1-9

11ListenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, BecauseH3588 the LordH3068 has a 2caseH7379 againstH5973 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, For thereH369 isH369 3noH369 4faithfulnessH571, norH369 5loyaltyH2617, NorH369 6knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.2There is 7oath-takingH422, 89denialH3584, 10murderH7523, 11stealingH1589, and 12adulteryH5003. They employH6555 violenceH6555, so that 13bloodshedH1818 14followsH5060 bloodshedH1818.3ThereforeH5921H3651 the landH776 15mournsH56, And everyoneH3605 who livesH3427 in it languishesH535 Along with the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704 and the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064, And evenH1571 the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 16disappearH622.

4YetH389 let noH408 oneH376 1718findH7378 faultH7378, and let noH408 oneH376 rebukeH3198; For your peopleH5971 are like those who 19contendH7378 with a priestH3548.5So you will 20stumbleH3782 by dayH3117, And the prophetH5030 alsoH1571 will stumbleH3782 with you by nightH3915; And I will destroyH1820 your 21motherH517.622My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lackH369 of knowledgeH1847. SinceH3588 you have 23rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I also will 24rejectH3988 you from beingH3547 My priestH3547. Since you have 25forgottenH7911 the 26LawH8451 of your GodH430, I alsoH1571 will forgetH7911 your childrenH1121.

7The more they 27multipliedH7231, the moreH3651 they sinnedH2398 against Me; I will 28changeH4171 their gloryH3519 into shameH7036.8They 29feedH398 on the 30sinH2403 of My peopleH5971, And 31longH5375H5315 for their wrongdoingH5771.9And it will be, like peopleH5971, 32like priestH3548; So I will 33punishH6485 them for their waysH1870 And repayH7725 them for their deedsH4611.
