Hosea 4:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ You will be ruined one of these days.
    And your prophets will be ruined with you one of these nights.
I will also destroy your mother, the nation of Israel.
⁶ My people will be destroyed
    because they have no knowledge.
You priests have refused to learn.
    So I will refuse to let you be priests to me.
You have forgotten the teachings of your God.
    So I will reject your children.
⁷ The more priests there are,
    the more they sin against me.
I will take away their honor
    and give them nothing but shame.
