Hosea 4:7-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

8. They feed on the sin of My people And direct their desire toward their iniquity.

9. And it will be, like people, like priest; So I will punish them for their ways And repay them for their deeds.

10. They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the harlot, but not increase, Because they have stopped giving heed to the Lord.

11. Harlotry, wine and new wine take away the understanding.

12. My people consult their wooden idol, and their diviner's wand informs them; For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.
