Hosea 4:2

Yahweh Has An Indictment

¹ Hear the word of the Lord, people of Israel,
for the Lord has a case
against the inhabitants of the land:
There is no truth, no faithful love,
and no knowledge of God in the land!
² Cursing, lying, murder, stealing,
and adultery are rampant;
one act of bloodshed follows another.
³ For this reason the land mourns,
and everyone who lives in it languishes,
along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky;
even the fish of the sea disappear.
