Hosea 4:4-6

New Living Translation

⁴ “Don’t point your finger at someone else
    and try to pass the blame!
My complaint, you priests,
    is with you.^[a]
5 So you will stumble in broad daylight,
    and your false prophets will fall with you in the night.
    And I will destroy Israel, your mother.
⁶ My people are being destroyed
    because they don’t know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me,
    I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
    I will forget to bless your children.
