Hosea 4:6-8
English Standard Version Anglicised
6 My people are destroyed (A)for lack of knowledge;
(B)because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you (C)from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
(D)I also will forget your children.
7 (E)The more they increased,
the more they sinned against me;
(F)I will change their glory into shame.
8 (G)They feed on the sin[a] of my people;
they are greedy for their iniquity.

and relish their wickedness.(E)
