Hosea 4:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 4:7

5 Therefore you shall stumble ^ain the day;
The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night;
And I will destroy your mother.

6 ^aMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
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.

7 “The more they i¹ncreased,
The more they sinned against Me;
^aI will change² their glory into shame.

8 They eat up the sin of My people;
They set their¹ heart on their iniquity.

9 And¹ it shall be: ^alike people, like priest.
So I will punish them for their ways,
And reward them for their deeds.

10 For ^athey shall eat, but not have enough;
They shall commit harlotry, but not increase;
Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.
