Hosea 4:3-5

New Century Version

³ Because of this the land dries up,
    and all its people are dying.
Even the wild animals and the birds of the air
    and the fish of the sea are dying.

⁴ “No one should accuse
    or blame another person.
Don’t blame the people, you priests,
    when they quarrel with you.
⁵ You will be ruined in the day,
    and your prophets will be ruined with you in the night.
I will also destroy your mother.^[a]
