Hosea 4:1-2

¹Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.

²There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.

Hosea 4 marks a dramatic shift from the personal narrative of Hosea's marriage to a direct, legal indictment against Israel. The Lord brings a "controversy" or lawsuit against the inhabitants of the land, charging them with a catastrophic failure of knowledge—not intellectual ignora
