Hosea 4:3-5

The Voice

³    It’s because you’re breaking My most basic directives
        that the land will mourn with grief and even dry up like a desert plant.
        Those dwelling in it waste away,
    As the wild animals, the flying birds, and the swimming fish are all dying.

⁴    Be careful in bringing these charges and contending with one another,
        for this is My charge against you,
        you priests—I have a divine contention against you!
⁵    You stumble around during the day, and the prophets stumble with you at night.
        And so I will destroy your mother, the land where you live.
