Hosea 4:1-6

1Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites! For the Lord has a covenant lawsuit against the people of Israel. For there is neither faithfulness nor loyalty in the land, nor do they acknowledge God.

2There is only cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery. They resort to violence and bloodshed.

3Therefore the land will mourn, and all its inhabitants will perish. The wild animals, the birds of the sky, and even the fish in the sea will perish.

4Do not let anyone accuse or contend against anyone else: for my case is against you priests!

5You stumble day and night, and the false prophets stumble with you; You have destroyed your own people!

6You have destroyed my people by failing to acknowledge me! Because you refuse to acknowledge me, I will reject you as my priests. Because you reject the law of your God, I will reject your descendants.
