Hosea 4:6-11
English Standard Version
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.
9 (H)And it shall be like people, like priest;
I will punish them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.
10 (I)They shall eat, but not be satisfied;
they shall play the whore, but not multiply,
because they have forsaken the Lord
to cherish 11 whoredom, wine, and new wine,
which (J)take away the understanding.
