4 Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel! no knowledge of God in your land. 2 You make vows and break them; one murder after another. 3 That is why your land is in mourning, and the fish of the sea are disappearing. 4 “Don’t point your finger at someone else is with you. 5 So you will stumble in broad daylight, And I will destroy Israel, your mother. 6 My people are being destroyed I will forget to bless your children. 7 The more priests there are, for the shame of idols. 8 “When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed. So the priests are glad when the people sin! 9 ‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’ for their wicked deeds. 10 They will eat and still be hungry. for they have deserted the LORD 11 to worship other gods. of their understanding. 12 They ask a piece of wood for advice! serving other gods and deserting their God. 13 They offer sacrifices to idols on the mountaintops. and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. 14 But why should I punish them so you will be destroyed. 15 “Though you, Israel, are a prostitute, and do not take oaths there in the LORD’s name. 16 Israel is stubborn, like a lamb in a lush pasture? 17 Leave Israel alone, because she is married to idolatry. 18 When the rulers of Israel finish their drinking, They love shame more than honor. 19 So a mighty wind will sweep them away. Their sacrifices to idols will bring them shame.
