Hosea 4:4-6

Good News Translation

The Lord Accuses the Priests

⁴ The Lord says, “Let no one accuse the people or reprimand them—my complaint is against you priests.^{[a] 5} Night and day you blunder on, and the prophets do no better than you. I am going to destroy Israel, your mother. ⁶ My people are doomed because they do not acknowledge me. You priests have refused to acknowledge me and have rejected my teaching, and so I reject you and will not acknowledge your sons as my priests.
