\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-1|1]] Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-2|2]] By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-3|3]] Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-4|4]] Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-5|5]] Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-6|6]] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-7|7]] As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-8|8]] They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-9|9]] And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-10|10]] For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-11|11]] Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-12|12]] My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-13|13]] They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-14|14]] I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-15|15]] Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-16|16]] For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-17|17]] Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-18|18]] Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
\\ [[commentaar:hosea4-19|19]] The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
