Hosea 4:6 in Context — Hosea 4

4 Porém ninguém brigue nem repreenda a alguém, porque teu povo é como os que brigam com o sacerdote.

5 Por isso cairás de dia, e o profeta cairá contigo de noite; e destruirei tua mãe.

6 Meu povo é destruído por falta de conhecimento. Porque tu rejeitaste o conhecimento, eu também te rejeitei do meu sacerdócio; e visto que te esqueceste a lei de teu Deus, também eu me esquecerei de teus filhos.

7 Quanto mais eles se multiplicaram, mais pecaram contra mim; tornarei sua honra em vergonha.

8 [Os sacerdotes] comem do pecado de meu povo, e desejam a maldade das pessoas.
