Hosea 4

4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: 
for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, 
because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

4:2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, 
they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, 
with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; 
yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

4:4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: 
for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

4:5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet 
also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

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 will also forget thy children.

4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: 
therefore will I change their glory into shame.

4:8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

4:9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: 
and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

4:10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: 
they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: 
because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

4:11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.

4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: 
for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, 
under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: 
therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, 
nor your spouses when they commit adultery: 
for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: 
therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend;
and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: 
now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.

4:18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: 
her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

4:19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
