“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.”
Hosea 4:6 (BSB)
Context Reading
4But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest. 5You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother — 6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. 7The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace. 8They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
