Hosea 4:3

Yahweh Has An Indictment

² There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.
They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.
³ Therefore the land mourns,
And everyone who lives in it languishes
Along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky,
And also the fish of the sea disappear.
⁴ Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof;
For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
