Hosea 4:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord accuses Israel

4 Israelites, listen to the Lord's message! The Lord accuses the people who live in Israel of these bad things:^[a]

‘Nobody in the land of Israel is faithful. They have no true love. They do not want to know God. ² They curse people, they tell lies, they murder people, they rob people. They are guilty of adultery.^[b] They continue to kill more and more people. ³ Because of this, the land will become like a desert. Everyone who lives there will become weak. Everything will die: the wild animals, the birds, and even the fish in the sea.
