Hosea 4
4:1Hear the word of the lord, O sons of Israel! For there is a case to the lord against the ones dwelling the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor full knowledge of God upon the land.
4:2Curse, and lie, and murder, and fraud, and adultery -- it poured upon the earth, and they mingled blood with blood.
4:3On account of this the land shall mourn, and shall be diminished with all the ones dwelling it; with the wild beasts of the field, and with the winged creatures of the heaven; and the fishes of the sea shall fail,
4:4so that no one should adjudicate, nor should any one reprove; but my people are as a priest disputing;
4:5and he shall weaken by day, and the prophet also shall weaken with you. I likened your mother to night.
4:6My people are likened as ones not having knowledge. For since you thrusted away full knowledge, even I will thrust you away so as to not officiate as priest to me. And as you forgot the laws of your God, I shall forget your children.
4:7According to their multitude, so they sinned against me. I will appoint their glory for dishonor.
4:8The sins of my people they shall eat, and in their iniquities shall take their lives.
4:9And it will be as the people, so also the priest; and I will avenge upon him his ways, and his deliberations I will recompense to him.
4:10And they shall eat, but in no way should be filled up. They committed harlotry, and in no way should they be straightened. Because they abandoned to watch for the lord.
4:11Harlotry, and wine, and strong drink, took the heart of my people.
4:12By their symbols they asked, and by their rods they reported to him. In a spirit of harlotry they were wandered, and they fornicated from their God.
4:13Upon the tops of the mountains they were sacrificed, and upon the hills they were sacrificed underneath the oak, and white poplar, and the overshadowing tree, for good protection. Because of this your daughters shall fornicate, and your brides shall commit adultery.
4:14And in no way shall I pay a visit unto your daughters whenever they should commit harlotry, nor unto your daughters-in-law whenever they should commit adultery. For they themselves blended together with the harlots, and were sacrificed with the ones initiating rites. And the people not perceiving closely joined with the harlot.
4:15But you, O Israel, be not ignorant! And Judah, enter not into Gilgal, and ascend not unto the house of On, and swear not an oath, saying, The lord lives!
4:16For Israel was heated as a heifer being in heat. Now the lord will feed them as a lamb in a broad space.
4:17Ephraim was a partner of idols, he made obstacles to himself.
4:18He took up with Canaanites, ones committing harlotry. They fornicated and loved dishonor of their neighing.
4:19You are a tumultuous wind in her wings, and they shall be disgraced because of their altars.
