[:en]Thoughts from Hosea 4[:]

[:en]Charges against Israel:

1. There is no faithfulness,, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land (v. 1)
2. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery (v. 2)
3. They have rejected knowledge (v. 6)
4. The priests sinned and exchanged their Glory for something disgraceful.  They feed on the sins of the people and relish their wickedness (vs. 7-8)
5. They have deserted the Lord and give themselves to prostitution. to old wine and new, which take away the understanding of the people (v. 11-12)
6. They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills (vs. 13)

Let us examine ourselves if we have also committed these sins.[:]
