Hosea 4:11

Yahweh Has An Indictment

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. ¹¹ Loose ways and new wine take away wisdom. 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.
