Hosea 4:5-15

5So you will 1stumbleH3782 by dayH3117, And the prophetH5030 alsoH1571 will stumbleH3782 with you by nightH3915; And I will destroyH1820 your 2motherH517.63My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lackH369 of knowledgeH1847. SinceH3588 you have 4rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I also will 5rejectH3988 you from beingH3547 My priestH3547. Since you have 6forgottenH7911 the 7LawH8451 of your GodH430, I alsoH1571 will forgetH7911 your childrenH1121.

7The more they 8multipliedH7231, the moreH3651 they sinnedH2398 against Me; I will 9changeH4171 their gloryH3519 into shameH7036.8They 10feedH398 on the 11sinH2403 of My peopleH5971, And 12longH5375H5315 for their wrongdoingH5771.9And it will be, like peopleH5971, 13like priestH3548; So I will 14punishH6485 them for their waysH1870 And repayH7725 them for their deedsH4611.1015They will eatH398, but not haveH7646 enoughH7646; They will 16playH2181 theH2181 prostituteH2181, but not 17increaseH6555, BecauseH3588 they 18gaveH5800 upH5800 devotingH8104 themselves to the LordH3068.

1119InfidelityH2184, 20wineH3196, and newH8492 wineH8492 takeH3947 away the 21understandingH3820.12My peopleH5971 22consultH7592 their woodenH6086 idol, and their diviner’s wandH4731 informsH5046 them; For a spiritH7307 of infidelityH2183 has ledH8582 them astrayH8582, And they have beenH2181 unfaithfulH2181, departing 23from their GodH430.13They offerH2076 sacrificesH2076 on the 24topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 And 2526burnH6999 incenseH6999 on the hillsH1389, 27UnderH8478 oakH437, poplarH3839, and terebinthH424, BecauseH3588 their shadeH6738 is pleasantH2896. ThereforeH5921H3651 your daughtersH1323 playH2181 theH2181 prostituteH2181, And your 28bridesH3618 commitH5003 adulteryH5003.14I will not punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 whenH3588 they playH2181 theH2181 prostituteH2181, Or your 29bridesH3618 whenH3588 they commitH5003 adulteryH5003, BecauseH3588 the men themselvesH1992 slipH6504 awayH6504 with the prostitutesH2185 And offerH2076 sacrificesH2076 with 30templeH6945 prostitutesH6945; So the peopleH5971 withoutH3808 understandingH995 are ruinedH3832.

15ThoughH518 you, IsraelH3478, playH2181 theH2181 prostituteH2181, JudahH3063 must not becomeH816 guiltyH816; Also you are not to goH935 to 31GilgalH1537, NorH408 goH5927 upH5927 to Beth-avenH1007 32And takeH7650 theH7650 oathH7650: “As the LordH3068 livesH2416!”
