|
God's Charge Against Israel
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 4
|
|
###### 1 Hear the word of the Lord,
|
|
You children of Israel,
|
|
For the Lord _brings_ a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
|
|
"There is no truth or mercy
|
|
Or knowledge of God in the land.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 _By_ swearing and lying,
|
|
Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
|
|
They break all restraint,
|
|
With bloodshed upon bloodshed.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 Therefore the land will mourn;
|
|
And everyone who dwells there will waste away
|
|
With the beasts of the field
|
|
And the birds of the air;
|
|
Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "Now let no man contend, or rebuke another;
|
|
For your people _are_ like those who contend with the priest.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day;
|
|
The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night;
|
|
And I will destroy your mother.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
|
|
Because you have rejected knowledge,
|
|
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
|
|
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
|
|
I also will forget your children.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "The more they increased,
|
|
The more they sinned against Me;
|
|
I will change their glory into shame.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 They eat up the sin of My people;
|
|
They set their heart on their iniquity.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 And it shall be: like people, like priest.
|
|
So I will punish them for their ways,
|
|
And reward them for their deeds.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 For they shall eat, but not have enough;
|
|
They shall commit harlotry, but not increase;
|
|
Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.The Idolatry of Israel
|
|
|
|
###### 11 "Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 My people ask counsel from their wooden _idols,_
|
|
And their staff informs them.
|
|
For the spirit of harlotry has caused _them_ to stray,
|
|
And they have played the harlot against their God.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops,
|
|
And burn incense on the hills,
|
|
Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
|
|
Because their shade _is_ good.
|
|
Therefore your daughters commit harlotry,
|
|
And your brides commit adultery.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 "I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,
|
|
Nor your brides when they commit adultery;
|
|
For _the men_ themselves go apart with harlots,
|
|
And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot.
|
|
Therefore people _who_ do not understand will be trampled.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 "Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
|
|
Let not Judah offend.
|
|
Do not come up to Gilgal,
|
|
Nor go up to Beth Aven,
|
|
Nor swear an oath, _saying,_ 'As the Lord lives'--
|
|
|
|
###### 16 "For Israel is stubborn
|
|
Like a stubborn calf;
|
|
Now the Lord will let them forage
|
|
Like a lamb in open country.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 "Ephraim _is_ joined to idols,
|
|
Let him alone.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Their drink is rebellion,
|
|
They commit harlotry continually.
|
|
Her rulers dearly love dishonor.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings,
|
|
And they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
