Hosea 4:4-11
Christian Standard Bible
4 But let no one dispute;(A) let no one argue,
for my case is against you priests.[a][b](B)
5 You will stumble by day;(C)
the prophet will also stumble with you by night.
And I will destroy your mother.(D)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.(E)
Because you have rejected knowledge,(F)
I will reject you(G) from serving as my priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,(H)
I will also forget your sons.
7 The more they multiplied,(I)
the more they sinned against me.
I[c] will change their[d] honor into disgrace.(J)
8 They feed on the sin[e] of my people;(K)
they have an appetite for their iniquity.(L)
9 The same judgment will happen
to both people and priests.(M)
I will punish them for their ways(N)
and repay them for their deeds.
10 They will eat but not be satisfied;(O)
they will be promiscuous(P) but not multiply.
For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.(Q)
11 Promiscuity,(R) wine, and new wine
take away one’s understanding.(S)
