Hosea 4:4-6
Modern English Version
4 Yet let no one contend,
and let none reprove another,
for your people are like those
that contend with a priest.[a]
5 You will stumble in the day,
and the prophet also will stumble with you in the night,
and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from being My priest.
And because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your children.
