Hosea 4

nor knowledge of God in the land.

they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.

yes, the fish of the sea also die.

“Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.

and I will destroy your mother.

I will also forget your children.

I will change their glory into shame.

and set their heart on their iniquity.

and will repay them for their deeds.

because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.

Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.

and they have been unfaithful to their God.

and your brides commit adultery.

so the people without understanding will come to ruin.

nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’

Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.

Leave him alone!

Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.

and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
