Hosea 4:4-11

DouayRheims(i) 4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest. 5 And thou shalt fall today, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent. 6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. 7 According to the multitude of them, so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. 8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity. 9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices. 10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing the law. 11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness, take away the understanding.
