Hosea 4:6

See my affliction and rescue me, For I do not forget Your law.

The lips of the righteous feed many, But ignorant fools die for lack of a heart of wisdom.

Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And their honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.

Then I said, “They are only the poor; They are foolish; For they do not know the way of Yahweh Or the legal judgment of their God.

“Moreover, they shall instruct My people about the difference between the holy and the profane, and make them know the difference between the unclean and the clean.

“So I will visit the days of the Baals upon her When she used to offer offerings in smoke to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry And go after her lovers, so that she forgot Me,” declares Yahweh.

Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know Yahweh.

Strangers devour his power, Yet he does not know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, Yet he does not know it.

So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without a heart of wisdom; They call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.

Put the trumpet to your mouth! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of Yahweh Because they have trespassed against My covenant And transgressed against My law.

Though I wrote for him ten thousand precepts of My law, They are counted as a strange thing.

So Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; And Judah has multiplied fortified cities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

As they had their pasture, then they became satisfied, Indeed, they were satisfied, and their heart became raised up; Therefore they forgot Me.
