Hosea 4:9-11
New English Translation

9 I will deal with the people and priests together:[a]
I will punish them both for their ways,
and I will repay them for their deeds.
10 They will eat, but not be satisfied;
they will engage in prostitution, but not increase in numbers;
because they have abandoned the Lord
by pursuing other gods.[b]

Judgment of Pagan Idolatry and Cultic Prostitution

11 Old and new wine
take away the understanding of my people.[c]

Footnotes

  1. Hosea 4:9 tn Heb “And it shall be, like people, like priest” (so ASV); cf. NAB “The priests shall fare no better than the people.”
  2. Hosea 4:10 tn Heb “by guarding harlotry.” The present translation assumes that the first word of v. 11 in the Hebrew text is to be taken with the infinitive at the end of v. 10 (so also NAB, NIV, NCV, NRSV).
  3. Hosea 4:11 tn Heb “take away the heart of my people.” The present translation assumes that the first word of v. 12 in the Hebrew text is to be construed with the noun at the end of v. 11 (so also TEV, CEV, NLT).
