Hosea 4:3-5

Modern English Version

³Therefore the land dries up,
    and everyone who lives in it withers
with the beasts of the field
    and the birds of the sky;
    even the fish of the sea disappear.

⁴Yet let no one contend,
    and let none reprove another,
for your people are like those
    that contend with a priest.^[a]
⁵You will stumble in the day,
    and the prophet also will stumble with you in the night,
and I will destroy your mother.
