| Hosea 4:1 | Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. | Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:2 | By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. | Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:3 | Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. | Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:4 | Yet let no man contend, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that contend with the priest. | But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest. | Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest. |
| Hosea 4:5 | Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. | And thou shalt fall to day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:6 | My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. | My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:7 | As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. | According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. | Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame. |
| Hosea 4:8 | They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. | They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity. | The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing. |
| Hosea 4:9 | And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. | And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices. | And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts. |
| Hosea 4:10 | For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall be guilty of lewdness, and shall not increase: because they have ceased to take heed to the LORD. | And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:11 | Lewdness and wine and new wine take away the heart. | Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding. | Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom. |
| Hosea 4:12 | My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth to them: for the spirit of lewdness hath caused them to err, and they have gone astray from under their God. | My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:13 | They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shade of them is agreeable: therefore your daughters shall be guilty of lewdness, and your spouses shall commit adultery. | They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:14 | I will not punish your daughters when they are guilty of lewdness, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for they themselves are separated with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall. | I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:15 | Though thou, Israel, playest the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth. | If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:16 | For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place. | For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place. | 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. |
| Hosea 4:17 | Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. | Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone. | Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be. |
| Hosea 4:18 | Their drink is sour: they have been guilty of lewd deeds continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. | Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them. | Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame. |
| Hosea 4:19 | The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. | The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices. | They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings. |
