Hosea 4:4-10 - The Lord Accuses The Priests

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.
⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from serving as My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your sons.

⁷ The more they multiplied,
the more they sinned against Me.
I will change their honor into disgrace.
⁸ They feed on the sin of My people;
they have an appetite for their transgressions.
⁹ The same judgment will happen
to both people and priests.
I will punish them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.
¹⁰ They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will be promiscuous but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.
