## Hosea 4:7-10 in Context (Verses 4–13 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/hosea/4/4) Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people *are* as they that strive with the priest.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/hosea/4/5) Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/hosea/4/6) ¶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/hosea/4/7) As they were increased, so they sinned against me: *therefore* will I change their glory into shame.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/hosea/4/8) They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/hosea/4/9) And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.**
 
 [10 ](/kjv/hosea/4/10) For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/hosea/4/11) Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/hosea/4/12) ¶ My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused *them* to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/hosea/4/13) They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof *is* good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
 
[Hosea 3](/kjv/hosea/3) [Hosea 5](/kjv/hosea/5)
