RF HOS 4:1 A Message Denouncing Israel's Sins.
Hear the Lord's message, you sons of Israel!
For the Land's people contend with the Lord.
For there is no truth,—and there is no mercy,—
And there is no knowledge of God in the country!
RF HOS 4:2 But there is perjury, lying and theft!
Adultery is rampant, and blood follows blood—
RF HOS 4:3 Therefore the Country is weak and is languid,
And the beasts of the field, and the birds of the skies,
And even the fish in the waters all faint!
RF HOS 4:4 Alas, no man warns! No man will reprove!
And your people like priests who revolt!
RF HOS 4:5 And you and your Preachers both stumble by day,
So at night I will lock up both your mother and you.
RF HOS 4:6 For want of reflection My people will perish;
For you have rejected all thought from yourselves.
So I reject you from the Priesthood to Me;—
And having abandoned the Laws of your GOD,
RF HOS 4:7 I will abandon your children Myself!—
As against Me they sinned in their power,
To contempt I will change all their honour.
RF HOS 4:8 As on the sin of My people they feed,
Those crimes they shall carry upon their own souls!
RF HOS 4:9 And as with the Mass, it shall be with the Priest,—
On each will I lay the result of their ways;
And turn back their paths on themselves,
RF HOS 4:10 They eat, but they never are filled;
They whore, but they do not increase!
For they pay no regard to the Lord!—
RF HOS 4:11 For whoredom, and wine, and strong drink
Have seized upon all of their hearts.
RF HOS 4:12 My People ask guidance of wood, and of sticks,—
For the spirit of whoredom deludes,
And they whore themselves far from their God!
RF HOS 4:13 On the top of the mountain they offer up gifts,
And they burn their perfumes on the Peaks!
Under Oak trees and Poplars and Pines,
For the sake of the cool shade they give;
So your daughters are whored,
And your brides are all foully defiled!
RF HOS 4:14 Should I not punish your daughters as whores?
And your brides as adulterous themselves?
Who wander about with the whores,
And with prostitutes offer up gifts?—
So the stupefied People must fall!
RF HOS 4:15 But if Israel whores yet let not Judah fall!
So come not to Gilgal, nor go to Beth-aven!
Or else never swear, "By the life of the Lord!"
RF HOS 4:16 For Israel bucks, like an obstinate cow,
When the Lord would lead her like a lamb to the plain.
RF HOS 4:17 Let Ephraim alone;—for his idols seduce.—
RF HOS 4:18 Their drink is drunk out; they have whored with their whore,
And his Princes delight in their shame!
RF HOS 4:19 A furious wind will enfold in her wings,—
And their altars become their disgrace,
