Hosea 4 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H8085Hear[H8798] H1697the wordH3068of the LORDH1121, ye childrenH3478of IsraelH3068: for the LORDH7379hath a controversyH3427with the inhabitants[H8802] H776of the landH571, because there is no truthH2617, nor mercyH1847, nor knowledgeH430of GodH776in the land.

² H422By swearing[H8800] H3584, and lying[H8763] H7523, and killing[H8800] H1589, and stealing[H8800] H5003, and committing adultery[H8800] H6555, they break out[H8804] H1818, and bloodH5060toucheth[H8804] H1818blood.

³ H776Therefore shall the landH56mourn[H8799] H3427, and every one that dwelleth[H8802] H535therein shall languish[H8797] H2416, with the beastsH7704of the fieldH5775, and with the fowlsH8064of heavenH1709; yea, the fishesH3220of the seaH622also shall be taken away[H8735] .

⁴ H376Yet let no manH7378strive[H8799] H3198, nor reprove[H8686] H376anotherH5971: for thy peopleH7378are as they that strive[H8688] H3548with the priest.

⁵ H3782Therefore shalt thou fall[H8804] H3117in the dayH5030, and the prophetH3782also shall fall[H8804] H3915with thee in the nightH1820, and I will destroy[H8804] H517thy mother.

⁶ H5971My peopleH1820are destroyed[H8738] H1847for lack of knowledgeH3988: because thou hast rejected[H8804] H1847knowledgeH3988, I will also reject[H8799] H3547thee, that thou shalt be no priest[H8763] H7911to me: seeing thou hast forgotten[H8799] H8451the lawH430of thy GodH7911, I will also forget[H8799] H1121thy children.

⁷ H7230As they were increasedH2398, so they sinned[H8804] H4171against me: therefore will I change[H8686] H3519their gloryH7036into shame.

⁸ H398They eat up[H8799] H2403the sinH5971of my peopleH5375, and they set[H8799] H5315their heartH5771on their iniquity.

⁹ H5971And there shall be, like peopleH3548, like priestH6485: and I will punish[H8804] H1870them for their waysH7725, and reward[H8686] H4611them their doings.

¹⁰ H398For they shall eat[H8804] H7646, and not have enough[H8799] H2181: they shall commit whoredom[H8689] H6555, and shall not increase[H8799] H5800: because they have left off[H8804] H8104to take heed[H8800] H3068to the LORD.

¹¹ H2184WhoredomH3196and wineH8492and new wineH3947take away[H8799] H3820the heart.

¹² H5971My peopleH7592ask[H8799] H6086counsel at their stocksH4731, and their staffH5046declareth[H8686] H7307unto them: for the spiritH2183of whoredomsH8582hath caused them to err[H8689] H2181, and they have gone a whoring[H8799] H430from under their God.

¹³ H2076They sacrifice[H8762] H7218upon the topsH2022of the mountainsH6999, and burn incense[H8762] H1389upon the hillsH437, under oaksH3839and poplarsH424and elmsH6738, because the shadowH2896thereof is goodH1323: therefore your daughtersH2181shall commit whoredom[H8799] H3618, and your spousesH5003shall commit adultery[H8762] .

¹⁴ H6485I will not punish[H8799] H1323your daughtersH2181when they commit whoredom[H8799] H3618, nor your spousesH5003when they commit adultery[H8762] H6504: for themselves are separated[H8762] H2181with whores[H8802] H2076, and they sacrifice[H8762] H6948with harlotsH5971: therefore the peopleH995that doth not understand[H8799] H3832shall fall[H8735] .

¹⁵ H3478Though thou, IsraelH2181, play the harlot[H8802] H3063, yet let not JudahH816offend[H8799] H935; and come[H8799] H1537not ye unto GilgalH5927, neither go ye up[H8799] H1007to BethavenH7650, nor swear[H8735] H3068, The LORDH2416liveth.

¹⁶ H3478For IsraelH5637slideth back[H8804] H5637as a backsliding[H8802] H6510heiferH3068: now the LORDH7462will feed[H8799] H3532them as a lambH4800in a large place.

¹⁷ H669EphraimH2266is joined[H8803] H6091to idolsH3240: let him alone[H8685] .

¹⁸ H5435Their drinkH5493is sour[H8804] H2181: they have committed whoredom[H8689] H2181continually[H8687] H4043: her rulersH7036with shameH157do love[H8804] H3051, Give[H8798]  ye.

¹⁹ H7307The windH6887hath bound her up[H8804] H3671in her wingsH954, and they shall be ashamed[H8799] H2077because of their sacrifices.
