Hosea 4:4-11
Christian Standard Bible
4 But let no one dispute;(A) let no one argue,
for my case is against you priests.[a][b](B)
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)
and repay them for their deeds.
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)
Hosea 4:4-11
Common English Bible
4 Yet let no one protest,
and let no one complain.
Listen, priest, I am angry with your people.[a]
5 You will stumble by day;
and at nighttime so will your prophet,
and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed
from lack of knowledge.
Since you have rejected knowledge,
so I will reject you from serving me as a priest.
Since you have forgotten the Instruction of your God,
so also I will forget your children.
7 The more they increased,
the more they sinned against me;
they exchanged their glory for shame.
8 They feed on the sin of my people;
they set their hearts on evil things.
9 The priest will be just like the people;
I will punish them for their ways,
and judge them for their deeds.
10 They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will have sex like prostitutes,
but they will not have children,
because they have rejected the Lord
to devote themselves to 11 false religious practices.
Description of Israel’s idolatry
Wine and new wine
destroy understanding.
