Hosea 4:8 in context

  1. 6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
  2. 7As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
  3. 8They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
  4. 9And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
  5. 10And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
