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.

New King James Version
4 “Now let no man contend, or rebuke another;
For your people are like those (A)who contend with the priest.
5 Therefore you shall stumble (B)in the day;
The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night;
And I will destroy your mother.
6 (C)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
(D)Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
7 “The more they increased,
The more they sinned against Me;
(E)I[a] will change [b]their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of My people;
They set their [c]heart on their iniquity.
9 And it shall be: (F)like people, like priest.
So I will punish them for their ways,
And [d]reward them for their deeds.
10 For (G)they shall eat, but not have enough;
They shall commit harlotry, but not increase;
Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.
The Idolatry of Israel
11 “Harlotry, wine, and new wine (H)enslave the heart.
