Hosea 4:4 - 4:11

Yet let no man contend, and let no man offer reproof;

Indeed, your people are like those who contend with the priest.

So you will stumble by day,

And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;

And I will destroy your mother.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Because you have rejected knowledge,

I also will reject you from ministering as My priest.

Since you have forgotten the law of your God,

I Myself also will forget your children.

The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;

I will change their glory into disgrace.

They eat the sin of My people

And lift up their soul toward their iniquity.

And it will be like people, like priest;

So I will punish them for their ways

And cause their deeds to return to them.

They will eat, but not be satisfied;

They will play the harlot, but not break forth in number,

Because they have forsaken Yahweh to keep harlotry.

Harlotry, wine, and new wine take away a heart of wisdom.
