Hosea 4:1-5

1HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, becauseH3588 there is noH369 truthH571, norH369 mercyH3068, norH369 knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.

2There is nought but swearingH422 and breakingH6555 faith, and killingH1818, and stealingH1589, and committingH5003 adulteryH5003; they breakH6555 outH6555, and bloodH1818 toucheth bloodH1818.

3Therefore shall the landH776 mournH56, and everyH3605 one that dwelleth therein shall languishH535, with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 and the fowls of heavenH8064; yea, the fishes of the seaH3220 also shall be takenH622 awayH622.

4Yet letH408 noH408 manH376 striveH7378, neitherH408 letH408 anyH376 manH376 reproveH3198; for thy peopleH5971 are as they that striveH7378 with the priestH3548.

5And thou shalt stumbleH3782 in the dayH3117, and the prophetH5030 also shall stumbleH3782 with thee in the nightH3915; and I will destroyH1820 thy motherH517.
