Hosea 4:8-12
New American Standard Bible
8 They (A)feed on the [a]sin of My people,
And (B)long for their wrongdoing.
9 And it will be, like people, (C)like priest;
So I will (D)punish them for their ways
And repay them for their deeds.
10 (E)They will eat, but not have enough;
They will (F)play the prostitute, but not [b]increase,
Because they (G)gave up devoting themselves to the Lord.
11 [c]Infidelity, (H)wine, and new wine take away the [d]understanding.
12 My people (I)consult their wooden idol, and their diviner’s wand informs them;
For a spirit of infidelity has led them astray,
And they have been unfaithful, departing [e]from their God.
