Hosea 4:8 in Context — Hosea 4

6 Mi pueblo fué talado, porque le faltó sabiduría. Porque tú desechaste la sabiduría, yo te echaré del sacerdocio: y pues que olvidaste la ley de tu Dios, también yo me olvidaré de tus hijos.

7 Conforme á su grandeza así pecaron contra mí: trocaré su honra en afrenta.

8 Comen del pecado de mi pueblo, y en su maldad levantan su alma.

9 Tal será el pueblo como el sacerdote: y visitaré sobre él sus caminos, y pagaréle conforme á sus obras.

10 Y comerán, mas no se hartarán; fornicarán, mas no se aumentarán: porque dejaron de atender á Jehová.
