Hosea 4:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and whoring, they break out, and [a]blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone that dwelleth therein shall be cut off, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the heaven, and also the fishes of the sea shall be taken away.
4 Yet [b]let none rebuke, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that rebuke the Priest.

let no one accuse another,
