| Hosea 4:1 | Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land. | | Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land. |
| Hosea 4:2 | There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood. | | There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood touches blood. |
| Hosea 4:3 | Because of this the land will be dry, and everyone living in it will be wasted away, with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven; even the fishes of the sea will be taken away. | | Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone who dwells therein shall languish, with the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also shall be taken away. |
| Hosea 4:4 | Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest. | | Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for your people are as those who strive with the priest. |
| Hosea 4:5 | You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction. | | You shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother. |
| Hosea 4:6 | Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory. | | My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. |
| Hosea 4:7 | Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame. | | As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. |
| Hosea 4:8 | The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing. | | They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. |
| Hosea 4:9 | And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts. | | It shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. |
| Hosea 4:10 | They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord. | | They shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the prostitute, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Yahweh. |
| Hosea 4:11 | Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom. | | Prostitution and wine and new wine take away the understanding. |
| Hosea 4:12 | My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God. | | My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declares to them; for the spirit of prostitution has caused them to err, and they have played the prostitute, [departing] from under their God. |
| Hosea 4:13 | They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands. | | They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow of it is good: therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery. |
| Hosea 4:14 | I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away. | | I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for [the men] themselves go apart with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that does not understand shall be overthrown. |
| Hosea 4:15 | Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord. | | Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don't let Judah offend; and don't you come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Yahweh lives. |
| Hosea 4:16 | For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place. | | For Israel has behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now will Yahweh feed them as a lamb in a large place. |
| Hosea 4:17 | Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be. | | Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone. |
| Hosea 4:18 | Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame. | | Their drink is become sour; they play the prostitute continually; her rulers dearly love shame. |
| Hosea 4:19 | They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings. | | The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices. |
