Hosea 4:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³Therefore the land mourns,
    and all who live in it languish;
together with the wild animals
    and the birds of the air,
    even the fish of the sea are perishing.

⁴Yet let no one contend,
    and let none accuse,
    for with you is my contention, O priest.^[a]
⁵You shall stumble by day;
    the prophet also shall stumble with you by night,
    and I will destroy your mother.
