Hosea 4:9 in Context — Hosea 4

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.

9 Portanto tal como o povo, assim será com o sacerdote; e punirei contra ele seus caminhos, e lhe retribuirei conforme seus atos.

10 E comerão, mas não se fartarão; eles se prostituirão, mas não se multiplicarão, porque abandonaram ao SENHOR,

11 Para buscarem a prostituição, o vinho, e o mosto, que tiram o entendimento.
