Hosea 4:3

Yahweh Has An Indictment

² Cursing, lying, murder, stealing,
and adultery are rampant;
one act of bloodshed follows another.
³ For this reason the land mourns,
and everyone who lives in it languishes,
along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky;
even the fish of the sea disappear.
⁴ But let no one dispute; let no one argue,
for My case is against you priests.
