Yahweh’s warning to priests

Hos 4:4–10

4Despite that, don’t let anyone bring a lawsuit,

and don’t let them accuse.

Your people are like those who would accuse a priest.

5You’ll stumble during the day.

The prophets will also stumble with you at night,

and I’ll destroy Yisrael your mother.

6My people are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge

because you have rejected knowledge and I’ll reject you from being a priest to me.

Because you’ve forgotten your God’s instructions,

I’ll also forget your children.


7The more the priests multiplied, the more they sinned against me.

I will change their high status into shame.

8They feed on the sin of my people.

They are greedy for their wickedness.

9It will be like people, like priests.

I will punish them for their ways

and I will repay them for their actions.

10They’ll eat but never be full.

They’ll sleep around but not prosper,

because they’ve abandoned Yahweh as their protector.
