Hosea 4:4-9

1. 4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

2. 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.

3. 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.

5. 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

6. 9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
