Hosea 4

KJV

1  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ ye children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath a controversy⁷³⁷⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ truth,⁵⁷¹ nor³⁶⁹ mercy,²⁶¹⁷ nor³⁶⁹ knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ of God⁴³⁰ in the land.⁷⁷⁶

2  By swearing,⁴²² and lying,³⁵⁸⁴ and killing,⁷⁵²³ and stealing,¹⁵⁸⁹ and committing adultery,⁵⁰⁰³ they break out,⁶⁵⁵⁵ and blood¹⁸¹⁸ toucheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ blood.¹⁸¹⁸

3  Therefore^{5921 3651} shall the land⁷⁷⁶ mourn,⁵⁶ and every one³⁶⁰⁵ that dwelleth³⁴²⁷ therein shall languish,⁵³⁵ with the beasts²⁴¹⁶ of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and with the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ yea, the fishes¹⁷⁰⁹ of the sea³²²⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ shall be taken away.⁶²²

4  Yet³⁸⁹ let no⁴⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ strive,⁷³⁷⁸ nor⁴⁰⁸ reprove³¹⁹⁸ another:³⁷⁶ for thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ are as they that strive⁷³⁷⁸ with the priest.³⁵⁴⁸

5  Therefore shalt thou fall³⁷⁸² in the day,³¹¹⁷ and the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ shall fall³⁷⁸² with⁵⁹⁷³ thee in the night,³⁹¹⁵ and I will destroy¹⁸²⁰ thy mother.⁵¹⁷

6  My people⁵⁹⁷¹ are destroyed¹⁸²⁰ for lack^{4480 1097} of knowledge:¹⁸⁴⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast rejected³⁹⁸⁸ knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁷ I will also reject³⁹⁸⁸ thee, that thou shalt be no priest^{4480 3547} to me: seeing thou hast forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of thy God,⁴³⁰ I⁵⁸⁹ will also¹⁵⁷¹ forget⁷⁹¹¹ thy children.¹¹²¹

7  As they were increased,⁷²³¹ so³⁶⁵¹ they sinned²³⁹⁸ against me: therefore will I change⁴¹⁷¹ their glory³⁵¹⁹ into shame.⁷⁰³⁶

8  They eat up³⁹⁸ the sin²⁴⁰³ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and they set⁵³⁷⁵ their heart⁵³¹⁵ on⁴¹³ their iniquity.⁵⁷⁷¹

9  And there shall be,¹⁹⁶¹ like people,⁵⁹⁷¹ like priest:³⁵⁴⁸ and I will punish^{6485 5921} them for their ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and reward⁷⁷²⁵ them their doings.⁴⁶¹¹

10  For they shall eat,³⁹⁸ and not³⁸⁰⁸ have enough:⁷⁶⁴⁶ they shall commit whoredom,²¹⁸¹ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ increase:⁶⁵⁵⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have left off⁵⁸⁰⁰ to take heed^{8104 853} to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

11  Whoredom²¹⁸⁴ and wine³¹⁹⁶ and new wine⁸⁴⁹² take away³⁹⁴⁷ the heart.³⁸²⁰

12  My people⁵⁹⁷¹ ask counsel⁷⁵⁹² at their stocks,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and their staff⁴⁷³¹ declareth⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto them: for³⁵⁸⁸ the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of whoredoms²¹⁸³ hath caused them to err,⁸⁵⁸² and they have gone a whoring²¹⁸¹ from under^{4480 8478} their God.⁴³⁰

13  They sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the tops⁷²¹⁸ of the mountains,²⁰²² and burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the hills,¹³⁸⁹ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ oaks⁴³⁷ and poplars³⁸³⁹ and elms,⁴²⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ the shadow⁶⁷³⁸ thereof is good:²⁸⁹⁶ therefore^{5921 3651} your daughters¹³²³ shall commit whoredom,²¹⁸¹ and your spouses³⁶¹⁸ shall commit adultery.⁵⁰⁰³

14  I will not³⁸⁰⁸ punish^{6485 5921} your daughters¹³²³ when³⁵⁸⁸ they commit whoredom,²¹⁸¹ nor your spouses³⁶¹⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ they commit adultery:⁵⁰⁰³ for³⁵⁸⁸ themselves¹⁹⁹² are separated⁶⁵⁰⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ whores,²¹⁸¹ and they sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ harlots:⁶⁹⁴⁸ therefore the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that doth not³⁸⁰⁸ understand⁹⁹⁵ shall fall.³⁸³²

15  Though⁵¹⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ play the harlot,²¹⁸¹ yet let not⁴⁰⁸ Judah³⁰⁶³ offend;⁸¹⁶ and come⁹³⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ ye unto Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ neither⁴⁰⁸ go ye up⁵⁹²⁷ to Beth-aven,¹⁰⁰⁷ nor⁴⁰⁸ swear,⁷⁶⁵⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth.²⁴¹⁶

16  For³⁵⁸⁸ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ slideth back⁵⁶³⁷ as a backsliding⁵⁶³⁷ heifer:⁶⁵¹⁰ now⁶²⁵⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will feed⁷⁴⁶² them as a lamb³⁵³² in a large place.⁴⁸⁰⁰

17  Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ is joined²²⁶⁶ to idols:⁶⁰⁹¹ let him alone.⁵¹¹⁷

18  Their drink⁵⁴³⁵ is sour:⁵⁴⁹³ they have committed whoredom continually:^{2181 2181} her rulers⁴⁰⁴³ with shame⁷⁰³⁶ do love,¹⁵⁷ Give³⁰⁵¹ ye.

19  The wind⁷³⁰⁷ hath bound her up^{6887 853} in her wings,³⁶⁷¹ and they shall be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ because of their sacrifices.^{4480 2077}

1 ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου υἱοὶ Ισραηλ διότι κρίσις τῷ κυρίῳ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν διότι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια οὐδὲ ἔλεος οὐδὲ ἐπίγνωσις θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

2 ἀρὰ καὶ ψεῦδος καὶ φόνος καὶ κλοπὴ καὶ μοιχεία κέχυται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ αἵματα ἐφ᾽ αἵμασιν μίσγουσιν

3 διὰ τοῦτο πενθήσει ἡ γῆ καὶ σμικρυνθήσεται σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν αὐτήν σὺν τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἑρπετοῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ σὺν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκλείψουσιν

4 ὅπως μηδεὶς μήτε δικάζηται μήτε ἐλέγχῃ μηδείς ὁ δὲ λαός μου ὡς ἀντιλεγόμενος ἱερεύς

5 καὶ ἀσθενήσεις ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ προφήτης μετὰ σοῦ νυκτὶ ὡμοίωσα τὴν μητέρα σου

6 ὡμοιώθη ὁ λαός μου ὡς οὐκ ἔχων γνῶσιν ὅτι σὺ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀπώσω κἀγὼ ἀπώσομαι σὲ τοῦ μὴ ἱερατεύειν μοι καὶ ἐπελάθου νόμον θεοῦ σου κἀγὼ ἐπιλήσομαι τέκνων σου

7 κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν οὕτως ἥμαρτόν μοι τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀτιμίαν θήσομαι

8 ἁμαρτίας λαοῦ μου φάγονται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν λήμψονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν

9 καὶ ἔσται καθὼς ὁ λαὸς οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ διαβούλια αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ

10 καὶ φάγονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῶσιν ἐπόρνευσαν καὶ οὐ μὴ κατευθύνωσιν διότι τὸν κύριον ἐγκατέλιπον τοῦ φυλάξαι

11 πορνείαν καὶ οἶνον καὶ μέθυσμα ἐδέξατο καρδία λαοῦ μου

12 ἐν συμβόλοις ἐπηρώτων καὶ ἐν ῥάβδοις αὐτοῦ ἀπήγγελλον αὐτῷ πνεύματι πορνείας ἐπλανήθησαν καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν

13 ἐπὶ τὰς κορυφὰς τῶν ὀρέων ἐθυσίαζον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνοὺς ἔθυον ὑποκάτω δρυὸς καὶ λεύκης καὶ δένδρου συσκιάζοντος ὅτι καλὸν σκέπη διὰ τοῦτο ἐκπορνεύσουσιν αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ νύμφαι ὑμῶν μοιχεύσουσιν

14 καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψωμαι ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν ὅταν πορνεύωσιν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς νύμφας ὑμῶν ὅταν μοιχεύωσιν διότι καὶ αὐτοὶ μετὰ τῶν πορνῶν συνεφύροντο καὶ μετὰ τῶν τετελεσμένων ἔθυον καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ συνίων συνεπλέκετο μετὰ πόρνης

15 σὺ δέ Ισραηλ μὴ ἀγνόει καὶ Ιουδα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ μὴ ἀναβαίνετε εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ων καὶ μὴ ὀμνύετε ζῶντα κύριον

16 ὅτι ὡς δάμαλις παροιστρῶσα παροίστρησεν Ισραηλ νῦν νεμήσει αὐτοὺς κύριος ὡς ἀμνὸν ἐν εὐρυχώρῳ

17 μέτοχος εἰδώλων Εφραιμ ἔθηκεν ἑαυτῷ σκάνδαλα

18 ᾑρέτισεν Χαναναίους πορνεύοντες ἐξεπόρνευσαν ἠγάπησαν ἀτιμίαν ἐκ φρυάγματος αὐτῶν

19 συστροφὴ πνεύματος σὺ εἶ ἐν ταῖς πτέρυξιν αὐτῆς καὶ καταισχυνθήσονται ἐκ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων αὐτῶν

1 [Audite verbum Domini, filii Israël,
quia judicium Domino cum habitatoribus terræ:
non est enim veritas, et non est misericordia,
et non est scientia Dei in terra.

2 Maledictum, et mendacium,
et homicidium, et furtum, et adulterium inundaverunt,
et sanguis sanguinem tetigit.

3 Propter hoc lugebit terra,
et infirmabitur omnis qui habitat in ea,
in bestia agri, et in volucre cæli;
sed et pisces maris congregabuntur.

4 Verumtamen unusquisque non judicet,
et non arguatur vir:
populus enim tuus sicut hi qui contradicunt sacerdoti.

5 Et corrues hodie,
et corruet etiam propheta tecum.
Nocte tacere feci matrem tuam.

6 Conticuit populus meus,
eo quod non habuerit scientiam:
quia tu scientiam repulisti,
repellam te, ne sacerdotio fungaris mihi;
et oblita es legis Dei tui,
obliviscar filiorum tuorum et ego.

7 Secundum multitudinem eorum sic peccaverunt mihi:
gloriam eorum in ignominiam commutabo.

8 Peccata populi mei comedent,
et ad iniquitatem eorum sublevabunt animas eorum.

9 Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos;
et visitabo super eum vias ejus,
et cogitationes ejus reddam ei.

10 Et comedent, et non saturabuntur;
fornicati sunt, et non cessaverunt:
quoniam Dominum dereliquerunt in non custodiendo.

11 Fornicatio, et vinum, et ebrietas auferunt cor.

12 Populus meus in ligno suo interrogavit,
et baculus ejus annuntiavit ei;
spiritus enim fornicationum decepit eos,
et fornicati sunt a Deo suo.

13 Super capita montium sacrificabant,
et super colles ascendebant thymiama;
subtus quercum, et populum, et terebinthum,
quia bona erat umbra ejus;
ideo fornicabuntur filiæ vestræ,
et sponsæ vestræ adulteræ erunt.

14 Non visitabo super filias vestras cum fuerint fornicatæ,
et super sponsas vestras cum adulteraverint,
quoniam ipsi cum meretricibus conversabantur,
et cum effeminatis sacrificabant;
et populus non intelligens vapulabit.

15 Si fornicaris tu, Israël,
non delinquat saltem Juda;
et nolite ingredi in Galgala,
et ne ascenderitis in Bethaven,
neque juraveritis: Vivit Dominus!

16 Quoniam sicut vacca lasciviens declinavit Israël;
nunc pascet eos Dominus, quasi agnum in latitudine.

17 Particeps idolorum Ephraim: dimitte eum.

18 Separatum est convivium eorum;
fornicatione fornicati sunt:
dilexerunt afferre ignominiam protectores ejus.

19 Ligavit eum spiritus in alis suis,
et confundentur a sacrificiis suis.]
