Hosea 1Hosea 2Hosea 3Hosea 4Hosea 5Hosea 6Hosea 7Hosea 8Hosea 9Hosea 10Hosea 11Hosea 12Hosea 13Hosea 14
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. #
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. #
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. #
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. #
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. #
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. #
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. #
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. #
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD. #
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. #
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. #
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall. #
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth. #
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place. #
