Hosea 4:1-3

New Catholic Bible

¹ Hear the word of the Lord,
    people of Israel,
for the Lord has decreed an indictment
    against the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or loyalty,
    nor any knowledge of God in the land.
² Instead, people swear oaths and break them;
    they lie, murder, steal, and commit adultery,
    with never-ceasing bloodshed.
³ Therefore, the land is in mourning,
    and all who dwell in it languish,
including the wild beasts and the birds of the air;
    even the fish of the sea are perishing.
