Hosea 4:4-6

New International Version

⁴ “But let no one bring a charge,
    let no one accuse another,
for your people are like those
    who bring charges against a priest.^(A)
5 You stumble^(B) day and night,
    and the prophets stumble with you.
So I will destroy your mother^(C)—
⁶     my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.^(D)

“Because you have rejected knowledge,
    I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law^(E) of your God,
    I also will ignore your children.
