Hosea 4:8
World English Bible (WEB)
They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
In context
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.
7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9 It will be like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
10 They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned listening to the LORD.
