Hosea 4:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
In context
1 Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2 Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3 Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4 But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
