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

⁴ Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people are as those striving with a priest. ⁵ And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother. ⁶ Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!

⁷ According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change. ⁸ The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul. ⁹ And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it. ¹⁰ And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
