Book 15 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - HOSEA - Chapter 004

04:001

Hear the word of HaShem, ye children of Israel! for HaShem hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of G-d in the land

04:002

Swearing and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery! they break all bounds, and blood toucheth blood

04:003

Therefore doth the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein doth languish, with the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also are taken away

04:004

Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest

04:005

Therefore shalt thou stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother

04:006

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 G-d, I also will forget thy children

04:007

The more they were increased, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame

04:008

They feed on the sin of My people, and set their heart on their iniquity

04:009

And it is like people, like priest; and I will punish him for his ways, and will recompense him his doings

04:010

And they shall eat, and not have enough, they shall commit harlotry, and shall not increase; because they have left off to take heed to HaShem

04:011

Harlotry, wine, and new wine take away the heart

04:012

My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of harlotry hath caused them to err, and they have gone astray from under their G-d

04:013

They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and offer upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good; therefore your daughters commit harlotry, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery

04:014

I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for they themselves consort with lewd women, and they sacrifice with harlots; and the people that is without understanding is distraught

04:015

Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah become guilty; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear: 'As HaShem liveth.

04:016

For Israel is stubborn like a stubborn heifer; now shall HaShem feed them as a lamb in a large place

04:017

Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone

04:018

When their carouse is over, they take to harlotry; her rulers deeply love dishonour

04:019

The wind hath bound her up in her skirts; and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices
