Hosea 4:8-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8. They feed on the sin of My people; they have an appetite for their transgressions.

9. The same judgment will happento both people and priests. I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

10. They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply.For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.

11. Promiscuity, wine, and new winetake away one’s understanding.

12. My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them.For a spirit of promiscuity leads them astray; they act promiscuously in disobedience to their God.
