Hosea 4:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Yet let no one contend,
    and let none accuse,
    for with you is my contention, O priest.^[a]
5 You shall stumble by day,
    the prophet also shall stumble with you by night;
    and I will destroy your mother.
⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
    because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
    I also will forget your children.
