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

⁴ Certainly man does not contend with nor reprehend man; for thy people are as those that resist the priest. ⁵ Therefore thou shalt fall in the day, and the prophet shall also fall with thee by night, and I will cut off thy mother. ⁶ My people were cut off because they lacked wisdom; because thou hast rejected wisdom, I will cast thee out of the priesthood; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy sons.

⁷ According to their greatness, so did they sin against me; therefore I will change their honour into shame. ⁸ They eat up the sin of my people, and in their iniquity they raise up their soul. ⁹ The people shall become like the priest; and I will visit his ways upon him, and they shall reward him according to his doings. ¹⁰ For they shall eat and not be satisfied; they shall commit whoredom and shall not increase because they have quit showing hospitality unto the LORD.
