Hosea 4:5-15

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

6My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847: becauseH3588 thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be noH1097 priestH3547 to meH589: seeingH3588 thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I also will forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121.

7As they were multipliedH7235, soH3651 they sinnedH2398 againstH2398 meH2398: I will changeH4171 their gloryH3519 intoH4171 shameH7036.

8They feedH398 on the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971, and setH5375 their heartH5315 on their iniquityH5771.

9And it shall be, like peopleH5971, like priestH3548: and I will punishH6485 them for their waysH1870, and will reward them their doingsH4611.

10And they shall eatH398, and notH3808 have enoughH7646; they shall commitH2181 whoredom, and shall notH3808 increaseH6555: becauseH3588 they have leftH5800 offH398 to takeH8104 heedH8104 to the LORDH3068.

11Whoredom and wineH3196 and newH8492 wineH3196 takeH3947 awayH3947 the understandingH3820.

12My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stock, and their staffH4731 declareth unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredom hath causedH430 them to errH8582, and they have goneH8582 a whoring from underH8478 their GodH430.

13They sacrificeH2076 uponH5921 the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and burnH6999 incenseH6999 uponH5921 the hillsH1389, underH8478 oaksH437 and poplars and terebinths, becauseH3588 the shadowH6738 thereof is goodH2896: therefore your daughtersH1323 commitH5003 whoredom, and your bridesH3618 commitH5003 adulteryH5003.

14I will notH3808 punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 when they commitH5003 whoredom, norH3808 your bridesH3618 when they commitH5003 adulteryH5003; for they themselvesH1992 goH6504 apartH6504 with whores, and they sacrificeH2076 with the harlotsH2181: and the peopleH5971 that doth notH3808 understandH995 shall be overthrown.

15ThoughH518 thou, IsraelH3478, playH2181 the harlotH2181, yet letH408 notH408 JudahH3063 offend; and comeH935 notH408 ye unto GilgalH1537, neitherH408 goH935 ye upH5927 to Beth-aven, norH408 swearH7650, As the LORDH3068 liveth.
