Hosea - Chapter: 4


4:1	`Hear a word of Jehovah, sons of Israel, For a strife `is' to Jehovah with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor knowledge of God, in the land,
4:2	Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery -- have increased, And blood against blood hath touched.
4:3	Therefore mourn doth the land, And weak is every dweller in it, With the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea -- they are removed.
4:4	Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people `are' as those striving with a priest.
4:5	And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother.
4:6	Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!
4:7	According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.
4:8	The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.
4:9	And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.
4:10	And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
4:11	Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,
4:12	My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.
4:13	On tops of the mountains they do sacrifice, And on the hills they make perfume, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good `is' its shade.
4:14	Therefore commit whoredom do your daughters, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they do sacrifice, A people that doth not understand kicketh.
4:15	Though a harlot thou `art', O Israel, Let not Judah become guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth.
4:16	For as a refractory heifer hath Israel turned aside, Now doth Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place.
4:17	Joined to idols `is' Ephraim, let him alone.
4:18	Sour `is' their drink, They have gone diligently a-whoring, Her protectors have loved shame thoroughly.
4:19	Distressed her hath wind with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!

4:1	Heare ye worde of the LORDE, o ye children of Israel: For the LORDE must punysh the, yt dwel in the londe. And why? There is no faithfulnesse, there is no mercy, there is no knowlege of God in the lode:
4:2	but swearinge, lyege, maslaughter, theft and aduoutry haue gotten the ouerhande, & one bloudgiltynesse foloweth another.
4:3	Therfore shal the londe be in a miserable case, and all they that dwell therin, shal mourne. The beastes in the felde, the foules in ye ayre, and the fishes in the see shall dye.
4:4	Yet is there none, that wil chaste nor reproue another. The prestes which shulde refourme other me, are become like the people.
4:5	Therfore stomblest thou in ye daye tyme &, the prophet with the in the night. I wil bringe thy mother to sylence, & why?
4:6	my people perish, because they haue no knowlege. Seinge then that thou hast refused vnderstondinge, therfore wil I refuse ye also: so that thou shalt nomore be my prest. And for so moch as thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wil also forget thy childre.
4:7	The more they increased in multitude, the more they synned agaynst me, therfore wil I chaurge their honoure in to shame.
4:8	They eate vp the synnes of my people, & corage them in their wickednesse.
4:9	Thus the prest is become like the people. Wherfore I will punysh them for their wicked wayes, & rewarde them acordinge to their owne ymaginacions.
4:10	They shal eate, & not haue ynough: They haue vsed whordome, therfore shall they not prospere: & why? they haue forsaken the LORDE, & not regarded him.
4:11	Whordome, wyne and dronckennesse take the herte awaye.
4:12	My people axe councel at their stockes, their staffe must tell them. For an whorish mynde hath disceaued them, so yt they comitte fornicacion agaynst their God.
4:13	They make sacrifice vpon the hie mountaynes, & burne their incense vpon the hilles, yee amonge the okes, groues & bu?shes, for there are good shadowes. Therfore yor doughters are become harlottes, and youre spouses haue broke their wedlocke
4:14	I wil not punish yor doughters for beinge defyled, & yor brydes that became whores: seinge the fathers themselues haue medled with harlottes, and offered with vnthriftes: but the people that wil not vnderstonde, must be punyshed.
4:15	Though thou Israel art disposed to playe ye harlot, yet shuldest not thou haue offended, o Iuda: thou shuldest not haue runne to Galgala, ner haue gone vp to Bethaue, ner haue sworne: the LORDE lyueth.
4:16	For Israel is gone backe, like a waton cowe. The LORDE therfore shal make hir fede, as ye labe yt goeth astraye.
4:17	And where as Ephraim is become partaker of Idols, wel, let him go.
4:18	Their dronckenesse hath put the backe, & brought them to whordome. Their rulers loue rewardes, brynge (saye they,) to their owne shame.
4:19	A wynde shall take holde of their fethers, & they shall be cofounded in their offeringes.
