Hosea 4:2
Berean Standard Bible
Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
Context
1Hear the word of the LORD,
O children of Israel,
for the LORD has a case
against the people of the land:
“There is no truth, no loving devotion,
and no knowledge of God in the land! 2Cursing and lying,
murder and stealing,
and adultery are rampant;
one act of bloodshed follows another. 3Therefore the land mourns,
and all who dwell in it will waste away
with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air;
even the fish of the sea disappear. 4But let no man contend;
let no man offer reproof;
for your people are like those
who contend with a priest.*
