Hosea 4:1-9

1HearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for YhwhH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776. 2By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818.1 3Therefore shall the landH776 mournH56, and every one that dwellethH3427 therein shall languishH535, with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064; yea, the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 also shall be taken awayH622. 4Yet let no manH376 striveH7378, nor reproveH3198 anotherH376: for thy peopleH5971 are as they that striveH7378 with the priestH3548. 5Therefore shalt thou fallH3782 in the dayH3117, and the prophetH5030 also shall fallH3782 with thee in the nightH3915, and I will destroyH1820 thy motherH517.2

6My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121.3 7As they were increasedH7230, so they sinnedH2398 against me: therefore will I changeH4171 their gloryH3519 into shameH7036. 8They eat upH398 the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971, and they setH5375 their heartH5315 on their iniquityH5771.4 9And there shall be, like peopleH5971, like priestH3548: and I will punishH6485 them for their waysH1870, and rewardH7725 them their doingsH4611.56
