Hosea 4:6-11
New King James Version
6 (A)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
(B)Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
7 “The more they increased,
The more they sinned against Me;
(C)I[a] will change [b]their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of My people;
They set their [c]heart on their iniquity.
9 And it shall be: (D)like people, like priest.
So I will punish them for their ways,
And [d]reward them for their deeds.
10 For (E)they shall eat, but not have enough;
They shall commit harlotry, but not increase;
Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.
The Idolatry of Israel
11 “Harlotry, wine, and new wine (F)enslave the heart.
