Hosea 4:1-19

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath a controversy
<07379>

with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

because [there is] no truth
<0571>_,

nor mercy
<02617>_,

nor knowledge
<01847>

of God
<0430>

in the land
<0776>_.

By swearing
<0422> (8800)_,

and lying
<03584> (8763)_,

and killing
<07523> (8800)_,

and stealing
<01589> (8800)_,

and committing adultery
<05003> (8800)_,

they break out
<06555> (8804)_,

and blood
<01818>

toucheth
<05060> (8804)

blood
<01818>_.

{blood: Heb. bloods}

Therefore shall the land
<0776>

mourn
<056> (8799)_,

and every one that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

therein shall languish
<0535> (8797)_,

with the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

and with the fowls
<05775>

of heaven
<08064>_;

yea, the fishes
<01709>

of the sea
<03220>

also shall be taken away
<0622> (8735)_.

Yet let no man
<0376>

strive
<07378> (8799)_,

nor reprove
<03198> (8686)

another
<0376>_:

for thy people
<05971>

[are] as they that strive
<07378> (8688)

with the priest
<03548>_.

Therefore shalt thou fall
<03782> (8804)

in the day
<03117>_,

and the prophet
<05030>

also shall fall
<03782> (8804)

with thee in the night
<03915>_,

and I will destroy
<01820> (8804)

thy mother
<0517>_.

{destroy: Heb. cut off}

My people
<05971>

are destroyed
<01820> (8738)

for lack of knowledge
<01847>_:

because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

knowledge
<01847>_,

I will also reject
<03988> (8799)

thee, that thou shalt be no priest
<03547> (8763)

to me: seeing thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8799)

the law
<08451>

of thy God
<0430>_,

I will also forget
<07911> (8799)

thy children
<01121>_.

{destroyed: Heb. cut off}

As they were increased
<07230>_,

so they sinned
<02398> (8804)

against me: [therefore] will I change
<04171> (8686)

their glory
<03519>

into shame
<07036>_.

They eat up
<0398> (8799)

the sin
<02403>

of my people
<05971>_,

and they set
<05375> (8799)

their heart
<05315>

on their iniquity
<05771>_.

{set...: Heb. lift up their soul to}

And there shall be, like people
<05971>_,

like priest
<03548>_:

and I will punish
<06485> (8804)

them for their ways
<01870>_,

and reward
<07725> (8686)

them their doings
<04611>_.

{punish: Heb. visit upon} {reward: Heb. cause to return}

For they shall eat
<0398> (8804)_,

and not have enough
<07646> (8799)_:

they shall commit whoredom
<02181> (8689)_,

and shall not increase
<06555> (8799)_:

because they have left off
<05800> (8804)

to take heed
<08104> (8800)

to the LORD
<03068>_.

Whoredom
<02184>

and wine
<03196>

and new wine
<08492>

take away
<03947> (8799)

the heart
<03820>_.

My people
<05971>

ask
<07592> (8799)

counsel at their stocks
<06086>_,

and their staff
<04731>

declareth
<05046> (8686)

unto them: for the spirit
<07307>

of whoredoms
<02183>

hath caused [them] to err
<08582> (8689)_,

and they have gone a whoring
<02181> (8799)

from under their God
<0430>_.

They sacrifice
<02076> (8762)

upon the tops
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8762)

upon the hills
<01389>_,

under oaks
<0437>

and poplars
<03839>

and elms
<0424>_,

because the shadow
<06738>

thereof [is] good
<02896>_:

therefore your daughters
<01323>

shall commit whoredom
<02181> (8799)_,

and your spouses
<03618>

shall commit adultery
<05003> (8762)_.

I will not punish
<06485> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

when they commit whoredom
<02181> (8799)_,

nor your spouses
<03618>

when they commit adultery
<05003> (8762)_:

for themselves are separated
<06504> (8762)

with whores
<02181> (8802)_,

and they sacrifice
<02076> (8762)

with harlots
<06948>_:

therefore the people
<05971>

[that] doth not understand
<0995> (8799)

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{I will not: or, Shall I not} {fall: or, be punished}

Though thou, Israel
<03478>_,

play the harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

[yet] let not Judah
<03063>

offend
<0816> (8799)_;

and come
<0935> (8799)

not ye unto Gilgal
<01537>_,

neither go ye up
<05927> (8799)

to Bethaven
<01007>_,

nor swear
<07650> (8735)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_.

For Israel
<03478>

slideth back
<05637> (8804)

as a backsliding
<05637> (8802)

heifer
<06510>_:

now the LORD
<03068>

will feed
<07462> (8799)

them as a lamb
<03532>

in a large place
<04800>_.

Ephraim
<0669>

[is] joined
<02266> (8803)

to idols
<06091>_:

let him alone
<03240> (8685)_.

Their drink
<05435>

is sour
<05493> (8804)_:

they have committed whoredom
<02181> (8689)

continually
<02181> (8687)_:

her rulers
<04043>

[with] shame
<07036>

do love
<0157> (8804)_,

Give
<03051> (8798)

ye. {sour: Heb. gone} {rulers: Heb. shields}

The wind
<07307>

hath bound her up
<06887> (8804)

in her wings
<03671>_,

and they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

because of their sacrifices
<02077>_.
