Hosea 4:4-11
4Yet let no man acontend, and let no man offer reproof;Indeed, your people are like those who bcontend with the priest.5So you will astumble by day,And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;And I will destroy your bmother.6aMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.Because you have brejected knowledge,I also will creject you from ministering as My priest.Since you have dforgotten the elaw of your God,I Myself also will forget your children.7The more they amultiplied, the more they sinned against Me;I will bchange their glory into disgrace.8They aeat the 1sin of My peopleAnd blift up 2their soul toward their iniquity.9And it will be like people, alike priest;So I will bpunish them for their waysAnd cause their deeds to return to them.10aThey will eat, but not be satisfied;They will bplay the harlot, but not break forth in number,Because they have 1,cforsaken Yahweh to keep harlotry.11Harlotry, awine, and new wine take away a heart of wisdom.
