Hosea 4 (kjv)

Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, ye children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: for the LORD^H3068 hath a controversy^H7379 with the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776, because there is no truth^H571, nor mercy^H2617, nor knowledge^H1847 of God^H430 in the land^H776.²By swearing^H422, and lying^H3584, and killing^H7523, and stealing^H1589, and committing adultery^H5003, they break out^H6555, and blood^H1818 toucheth^H5060 blood^H1818.³Therefore shall the land^H776 mourn^H56, and every one that dwelleth^H3427 therein shall languish^H535, with the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, and with the fowls^H5775 of heaven^H8064; yea, the fishes^H1709 of the sea^H3220 also shall be taken away^H622.⁴Yet let no man^H376 strive^H7378, nor reprove^H3198 another^H376: for thy people^H5971 are as they that strive^H7378 with the priest^H3548.⁵Therefore shalt thou fall^H3782 in the day^H3117, and the prophet^H5030 also shall fall^H3782 with thee in the night^H3915, and I will destroy^H1820 thy mother^H517.⁶My people^H5971 are destroyed^H1820 for lack of knowledge^H1847: because thou hast rejected^H3988 knowledge^H1847, I will also reject^H3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priest^H3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgotten^H7911 the law^H8451 of thy God^H430, I will also forget^H7911 thy children^H1121.⁷As they were increased^H7230, so they sinned^H2398 against me: therefore will I change^H4171 their glory^H3519 into shame^H7036.⁸They eat up^H398 the sin^H2403 of my people^H5971, and they set^H5375 their heart^H5315 on their iniquity^H5771.⁹And there shall be, like people^H5971, like priest^H3548: and I will punish^H6485 them for their ways^H1870, and reward^H7725 them their doings^H4611.¹⁰For they shall eat^H398, and not have enough^H7646: they shall commit whoredom^H2181, and shall not increase^H6555: because they have left off^H5800 to take heed^H8104 to the LORD^H3068.¹¹Whoredom^H2184 and wine^H3196 and new wine^H8492 take away^H3947 the heart^H3820.

¹²My people^H5971 ask^H7592 counsel at their stocks^H6086, and their staff^H4731 declareth^H5046 unto them: for the spirit^H7307 of whoredoms^H2183 hath caused them to err^H8582, and they have gone a whoring^H2181 from under their God^H430.

¹³They sacrifice^H2076 upon the tops^H7218 of the mountains^H2022, and burn incense^H6999 upon the hills^H1389, under oaks^H437 and poplars^H3839 and elms^H424, because the shadow^H6738 thereof is good^H2896: therefore your daughters^H1323 shall commit whoredom^H2181, and your spouses^H3618 shall commit adultery^H5003.

¹⁴I will not punish^H6485 your daughters^H1323 when they commit whoredom^H2181, nor your spouses^H3618 when they commit adultery^H5003: for themselves are separated^H6504 with whores^H2181, and they sacrifice^H2076 with harlots^H6948: therefore the people^H5971 that doth not understand^H995 shall fall^H3832.

¹⁵Though thou, Israel^H3478, play the harlot^H2181, yet let not Judah^H3063 offend^H816; and come^H935 not ye unto Gilgal^H1537, neither go ye up^H5927 to Bethaven^H1007, nor swear^H7650, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416.¹⁶For Israel^H3478 slideth back^H5637 as a backsliding^H5637 heifer^H6510: now the LORD^H3068 will feed^H7462 them as a lamb^H3532 in a large place^H4800.¹⁷Ephraim^H669 is joined^H2266 to idols^H6091: let him alone^H3240.¹⁸Their drink^H5435 is sour^H5493: they have committed whoredom^H2181 continually^H2181: her rulers^H4043 with shame^H7036 do love^H157, Give^H3051 ye.¹⁹The wind^H7307 hath bound her up^H6887 in her wings^H3671, and they shall be ashamed^H954 because of their sacrifices^H2077.
