Hosea 4:4-11
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Yet [a]let none rebuke, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that rebuke the Priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the [b]day, and the Prophet shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy [c]mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because [d]thou hast refused knowledge, I will also refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing [e]thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were [f]increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 [g]They eat up the sins of my people, and lift up their minds in their iniquity.
9 And there shall be like people like [h]priest: for I will visit their ways upon them, and reward them their deeds.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough, they shall [i]commit adultery, and shall not increase, because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 [j]Whoredom, and wine, and new wine take away their heart.
