Hosea 4

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

HOS 4:1 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
HOS 4:2 There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
HOS 4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
HOS 4:4 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
HOS 4:5 And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
HOS 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
HOS 4:7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
HOS 4:8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
HOS 4:9 And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
HOS 4:10 And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
HOS 4:11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.
HOS 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, `departing' from under their God.
HOS 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
HOS 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for `the men' themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown.
HOS 4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah liveth.
HOS 4:16 For Israel hath behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place.
HOS 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
HOS 4:18 Their drink is become sour; they play the harlot continually; her rulers dearly love shame.
HOS 4:19 The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
