Hosea 4:1-6 NKJV

Hosea 4:1-6 Hear the word of the LORD, You children of Israel, For the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land; "There is no truth or mercy Or knowledge of God in the land.

By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed.

Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone 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.

"Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

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

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Isaiah 1:14-23 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear, Your hands are full of blood.

Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil,

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers.

Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water.

Your princes are rebellious, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

Amos 5:16-20 Therefore, the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this; "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, "Alas! Alas!' They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.

In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you," Says the LORD.

Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light.

It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

Deuteronomy 17:6-13 "Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness.

"The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from among you.

"If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses.

"And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.

"You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the LORD chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you.

"According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgement which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you.

"Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel.

"And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.

Jeremiah 15:1-8 Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.

"And it shall be, if they say to you, 'Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD; "Such as are for death, to death; And such as are for the sword, to the sword; And such as are for the famine, to the famine; And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity."'

"And I will appoint over them four forms of destruction," says the LORD; "the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

"I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

"For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?

You have forsaken Me, says the LORD, "You have gone backward. Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you; I am weary of relenting!

And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, Since they do not return from their ways.

Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas; I will bring against them, Against the mother of the young men, A plunder at noonday; I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
