Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because
you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have
ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. 7 The more the

for something disgraceful. 8 They feed on the sins of my people and relish their
wickedness. 9 And it will be: Like people, like priests. I will punish both of
them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.

of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, `Do not prophesy in the name

Almighty says: `I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their
sons and daughters by famine.

the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and
the altar. 36 I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
Disobeying God.

they put your law behind their backs. They killed your prophets, who had
admonished them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful
blasphemies. 27 So you handed them over to their enemies, who oppressed them.

be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgement than for you. 23 And
you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the

far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, `Father Abraham,
have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool

Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
