God’s Charge Against Israel
You children of Israel,
For the Lord brings a acharge against the inhabitants of the land:
“There is no truth or mercy
Or bknowledge of God in the land.
Killing and stealing and committing adultery,
They break all restraint,
With bloodshed1 upon bloodshed.
And beveryone who dwells there will waste away
With the beasts of the field
And the birds of the air;
Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
For your people are like those awho contend with the priest.
The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night;
And I will destroy your mother.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
bBecause you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

Hosea 4:2
they break out—bursting through every restraint.
blood toucheth blood—literally, "bloods." One act of bloodshed follows another without any interval between (see II Kings 15:8-16, II Kings 15:25; Micah 7:2).
