Hosea 4:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

    because the Lord has charges to make against the inhabitants of the land,
    because there is no truth,
    there is no mercy,
    and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
² There is cursing, lying, murder, theft, and adultery.
    They break out in violence, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
³ Therefore the land mourns,^[a]
    and everyone who dwells in it wastes away
    along with the wild animals and the birds in the sky.
    Even the fish of the sea have been removed.
