CHAP. IV.
1 God's judgments against the sins of the people,
6 and of the priests, 12 and against
their idolatry. 15 Judah is exhorted to take
warning by Israel's calamity.
1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children
of Israel: for the Lord hath a
note controversy with the inhabitants of the
land, because there is no truth, nor mercy,
nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing,
and stealing, and committing adultery,
they break out, and note blood toucheth
blood.
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.
4 Yet let no man contend, nor reprove
another: for thy people are as they that
contend with the priest.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day,
and the prophet also shall fall with thee
in the night, and I will note destroy thy
mother.
6 ¶2; My people are note 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.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned
against me: therefore will I change
their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people,
and they note set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, note like people,
like priest: and I will note punish them for
their ways, and note reward them their doings.
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.
11 Lewdness and wine and new wine
take away the heart.
12 ¶2; 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.
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.
14 noteI 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 note fall.
15 ¶2; Though thou, Israel, playest the
harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and
come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up
to note Beth-aven, nor swear, The Lord liveth.
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding
heifer: now the Lord will feed
them as a lamb in a large place.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him
alone.
18 Their drink note is sour: they have
been guilty of lewd deeds continually:
her note rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her
wings, and they shall be ashamed because
of their sacrifices.
