strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:2
@ By
swearing
, and
lying
, and
killing
, and
stealing
, and committing
adultery
, they break
out
, and
blood
toucheth
blood
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:4
@ Yet let no
man
strive
, nor
reprove
another
: for thy
people
are as they that
strive
with the
priest
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:7
@ As they were
increased
, so they
sinned
against me: therefore will I
change
their
glory
into
shame
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:8
@ They eat
up
the
sin
of my
people
, and they
set
their
heart
on their
iniquity
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:9
@ And there shall be, like
people
, like
priest
: and I will
punish
them for their
ways
, and
reward
them their
doings
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:11
@
Whoredom
and
wine
and new
wine
take
away
the
heart
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
.
strkjv@Hosea: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
Beyth, nor
swear
, The
LORD
liveth
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:16
@ For
Israel
slideth
back
as a
backsliding
heifer
: now the
LORD
will
feed
them as a
lamb
in a large
place
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:17
@
Ephraim
is
joined
to
idols
: let him
alone
.
strkjv@Hosea:4:18
@ Their
drink
is
sour
: they have committed
whoredom
continually
: her
rulers
with
shame
do
love
,
Give
ye.
strkjv@Hosea:4:19
@ The
wind
hath bound her
up
in her
wings
, and they shall be
ashamed
because of their
sacrifices
.
