Hosea 4:4

The Lord Accuses The Priests

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.
⁵ You will stumble by day;
the prophet will also stumble with you by night.
And I will destroy your mother.

My People
