Hosea 4:1 in context

  1. 1Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel;
    for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
    “Indeed there is no truth,
    nor goodness,
    nor knowledge of God in the land.
  2. 2There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
    they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
  3. 3Therefore the land will mourn,
    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.
