Hosea 4:2-4
Wycliffe Bible
2 Curse, and leasing, and man-quelling, and theft, and adultery flowed, and blood touched blood. (Curses, and lies, and man-killing, or murder, and theft, and adultery flowed, and blood touched blood.)
3 For this thing the earth shall mourn, and each that dwelleth in that land shall be sick, in the beast of the field, and in the bird of the air; but also the fishes of the sea shall be gathered together. (For this thing the land shall mourn, and everyone who liveth in that land shall die, and with them the wild beasts, and the birds of the air; and even the fish of the sea shall be gathered together, and taken away.)
4 Nevertheless each man deem not, and a man be not reproved; for thy people is as they that against-say the priest. (Nevertheless let no one judge the people, and let no one rebuke them; for my quarrel is with you, false priest/s.)

Hosea 4:2-4
New International Version
2 There is only cursing,[a] lying(A) and murder,(B)
stealing(C) and adultery;(D)
they break all bounds,
and bloodshed follows bloodshed.(E)
3 Because of this the land dries up,(F)
and all who live in it waste away;(G)
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea are swept away.(H)
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.(I)
