Hosea 4
1 God denounces judgments on Israel, for their aggravated impieties and iniquities.
12 He exposes the ignorance and wickedness of the priests, and profligacy of the people, he will leave their wives and daughters to commit lewdness, without present punishment.
15 He warns Judah, not to imitate Israel's crimes, which are still further reproved.
