Hear the LORD’s word, you children of Israel, Jer 4:22Mic 6:21Co 15:34Isa 3:13-14Amo 7:16Hos 12:2Isa 1:18Isa 34:1
for the LORD has a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
“Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness,
nor knowledge of God in the land.
There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; Hos 6:91Th 2:15Jer 6:7Mic 7:2Hos 7:1Jer 5:26-27Jer 5:7-9Jer 7:6-10
they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
Therefore the land will mourn, Zep 1:3Isa 24:4-12Nam 1:4Amo 5:16Ezk 38:20Jer 12:4Jer 4:27-28Amo 8:8
and everyone who dwells in it will waste away,
with all living things in her,
even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky;
yes, the fish of the sea also die.
“Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; Deu 17:12Ezk 3:26Hos 4:17Amo 5:13Jer 18:18Mat 7:3-6Amo 6:10
for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
You will stumble in the day, Hos 2:2Jer 15:8Gal 4:26Zec 13:2Ezk 13:9-16Ezk 14:7-10Ezk 16:44-45Hos 9:7-8
and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night;
and I will destroy your mother.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Isa 5:13Pro 19:2Hos 6:62Co 4:3-6Hos 4:1Mat 15:8Pro 1:30-32Isa 17:10
Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you,
that you may be no priest to me.
Because you have forgotten your God’s law,
I will also forget your children.
As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. Hos 13:6Php 3:191Sa 2:30Hos 10:1Hos 4:10Mal 2:9Ezr 9:7Hab 2:16
I will change their glory into shame.
They feed on the sin of my people, Isa 56:11Mic 3:11Tit 1:111Sa 2:29Lev 6:26Lev 7:6-7Mal 1:10Psa 24:4
and set their heart on their iniquity.
It will be like people, like priest; Jer 5:31Isa 24:2Mat 15:14Hos 1:4Jer 23:11-12Ezk 22:26-31Hos 8:13Hos 9:9
and I will punish them for their ways,
and will repay them for their deeds.
They will eat, and not have enough. Mic 6:14Hag 1:6Lev 26:26Pro 13:25Psa 125:5Psa 36:3Zep 1:62Ch 24:17
They will play the prostitute, and will not increase;
because they have abandoned listening to the LORD.
Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding. Pro 20:1Luk 21:34Isa 28:7Ecc 7:7Hos 4:12Isa 5:12Pro 23:27-35Pro 6:32
My people consult with their wooden idol, Jer 2:27Hos 5:4Hab 2:19Deu 31:16Isa 44:18-20Num 15:392Ch 21:132Th 2:9-11
and answer to a stick of wood.
Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray,
and they have been unfaithful to their God.
They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, Jer 3:6Ezk 6:13Isa 1:29Amo 7:172Sa 12:10-12Ezk 16:16Ezk 16:25Ezk 20:28-29
and burn incense on the hills, under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
because its shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the prostitute,
and your brides commit adultery.
I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, 1Co 6:16Eph 4:18Hos 4:11Ki 14:23-241Ki 15:122Ki 23:7Dan 12:10Deu 23:17
nor your brides when they commit adultery;
because the men consort with prostitutes,
and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes;
so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, Hos 12:11Hos 9:15Amo 4:4Amo 5:5Amo 8:14Eph 5:11Hos 10:5Hos 10:8
yet don’t let Judah offend;
and don’t come to Gilgal,
neither go up to Beth Aven,
nor swear, ‘As the LORD lives.’
For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. 1Sa 15:11Hos 11:7Isa 22:18Isa 5:17Isa 7:21-25Jer 14:7Jer 3:11Jer 3:6
Then how will the LORD feed them like a lamb in a meadow?
Ephraim is joined to idols. Psa 81:12Rev 22:11Hos 11:2Hos 13:2Hos 4:4Mat 15:14Hos 12:1
Leave him alone!
Their drink has become sour. Mic 3:11Pro 30:15-161Sa 12:3-41Sa 8:32Ki 17:7-17Amo 5:12Deu 16:19Deu 32:32-33
They play the prostitute continually.
Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; Jer 51:1Hos 13:15Isa 1:29Jer 4:11-12Hos 10:6Hos 12:1Isa 42:17Jer 17:13
and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
