Hosea 4:4-11
New American Standard Bible
4 Yet let no one [a](A)find fault, and let no one rebuke;
For your people are like those who (B)contend with a priest.
5 So you will (C)stumble by day,
And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;
And I will destroy your (D)mother.
6 (E)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Since you have (F)rejected knowledge,
I also will (G)reject you from being My priest.
Since you have (H)forgotten the (I)Law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
7 The more they (J)multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;
I will (K)change their glory into shame.
8 They (L)feed on the [b]sin of My people,
And (M)long for their wrongdoing.
9 And it will be, like people, (N)like priest;
So I will (O)punish them for their ways
And repay them for their deeds.
10 (P)They will eat, but not have enough;
They will (Q)play the prostitute, but not [c]increase,
Because they (R)gave up devoting themselves to the Lord.

4 But let no one dispute;(A) let no one argue,

5 You will stumble by day;(C)
the prophet will also stumble with you by night.
And I will destroy your mother.(D)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.(E)
Because you have rejected knowledge,(F)
I will reject you(G) from serving as my priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,(H)
I will also forget your sons.
7 The more they multiplied,(I)
the more they sinned against me.
I[c] will change their[d] honor into disgrace.(J)
8 They feed on the sin[e] of my people;(K)
they have an appetite for their iniquity.(L)
9 The same judgment will happen
to both people and priests.(M)
I will punish them for their ways(N)

10 They will eat but not be satisfied;(O)
they will be promiscuous(P) but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.(Q)
11 Promiscuity,(R) wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding.(S)
