CHAP. IIII.
1 Gods iudgements against the sinnes of the
people, 6 and of the priests, 12 and against
their idolatrie. 15 Iudah is exhorted to take
warning by Israels calamitie.
-- --
Priests reiected.
1
Heare the worde of the
Lord, yee children of
Israel: for the Lord
hath a note controuersie with
the inhabitants of the
land, because there is no trueth, nor mercie,
nor knowledge of God in the land.
2
By swearing, and lying, and killing,
and stealing, and committing adulterie,
they breake out, and blood toucheth note
blood.
3
Therefore shall the land mourne,
and euery one that dwelleth therein
shall languish, with the beastes of the
field, and with the foules of heauen, yea
the fishes of the Sea also shall be taken
away.
4
Yet let no man striue, nor reproue
another: for this people are as they that
striue 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
¶ My people are note destroyed for
lacke of knowledge: because thou hast
reiected knowledge, I will also reiect
thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the lawe of
thy God, I wil also forget thy children.
7
As they were increased, so they
sinned against me: therfore wil I change
their glory into shame.
8
They eate vp the sinne of my people,
and they note set their heart on their iniquitie.
9
And there shall be like people, like
note priest: and I will note punish them for
their wayes, and note reward them their
doings.
10
For they shall eate, and not haue
enough: they shall commit whordome,
and shall not increase, because they haue
left off to take heed to the Lord.
11
Whoredome, and wine, and newe
wine take away the heart.
12
¶ My people aske counsel at their
stocks, and their staffe declareth vnto
them: for the spirit of whordomes hath
caused them to erre, and they haue gone
a whoring from vnder their God.
13
They sacrifice vpon the tops of the
mountaines, and burne incense vpon
the hilles vnder okes and poplars, and
elmes, because the shadowe thereof is
good: therefore your daughters shall
commit whoredome, and your spouses
shall commit adulterie.
14
I note will not punish your daughters
Israels pride.
when they commit whordome, nor
your spouses when they commit adulterie:
for themselues are separated with
whores, and they sacrifice with harlots:
therfore the people that doth not vnderstand,
note shall fall.
15
¶ Though thou Israel play the
harlot, yet let not Iudah offend, and
come not ye vnto Gilgal, neither goe ye
vp to note Beth-auen, nor sweare, The
Lord liueth:
16
For Israel slideth backe, as a
backe sliding heifer: now the Lord
will feede them as a lambe in a large
place.
17
Ephraim is ioyned to idoles: let
him alone.
18
Their drinke note is sowre: they haue
committed whordome continually: her
note rulers with shame doe loue, Giue ye.
19
The wind hath bound her vp in
her wings, and they shall be ashamed
because of their sacrifices.
