Hosea 4:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Cursing, dishonesty, murder,
    robbery, unfaithfulness—
these happen all the time.
    Violence is everywhere.
3 And so your land is a desert.
Every living creature is dying—
    people and wild animals,
    birds and fish.

The Lord Warns the Priests

4 Don't accuse just anyone!
    Not everyone is at fault.
My case is against you,
    the priests.[a]
