Hosea 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.	1 ܫܡܥܘ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܥܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.	2 ܠܘܛܬܐ ܘܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܘܩܛܠܐ ܘܓܢܒܘܬܐ ܘܓܘܪܐ ܣܓܝܘ ܘܕܡܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܚܠܛܘ
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.	3 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܬܬܒ ܒܐܒܠܐ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܐܠܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܘܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ ܘܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܦ ܢܘܢܐ ܕܒܝܡܐ ܢܣܘܦܘܢ
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܟܣ ܘܥܡܟ ܐܝܟ ܟܗܢܐ ܡܬܚܪܐ
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.	5 ܘܐܬܬܩܠܬ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܐܬܬܩܠ ܐܦ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܥܡܟ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܫܬܩܬ ܐܡܟ
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.	6 ܫܬܩ ܥܡܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܣܠܝܬ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܐܣܠܝܟ ܡܢ ܟܗܢܘܬܐ ܘܛܥܝܬ ܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܐܠܗܟ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܛܥܐ ܠܒܢܝܟ
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.	7 ܐܝܟ ܣܘܓܐܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܚܛܘ ܘܐܝܩܪܗܘܢ ܒܩܠܠܐ ܚܠܦܘ
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.	8 ܚܛܝܬܗ ܕܥܡܝ ܐܟܠܘ ܘܠܥܘܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.	9 ܘܗܘܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܦܩܘܕ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܬܗܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܦܪܘܥ ܐܢܘܢ
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.	10 ܘܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܣܒܥܘܢ ܙܢܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܣܓܝܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܡܪܝܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܘܪܚܡܘ
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.	11 ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܢܣܒܗ ܠܠܒܗܘܢ
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.	12 ܥܡܝ ܒܬܪܥܝܬܗ ܫܐܠ ܘܚܘܛܪܗ ܚܘܝܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܐܛܥܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.	13 ܥܠ ܪܝܫܝ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܚܘ ܘܥܠ ܪܡܬܐ ܣܡܘ ܒܣܡܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܒܠܘܛܐ ܘܚܘܪܐ ܘܒܛܡܬܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܛܠܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܙܢܝܢ ܒܢܬܟܘܢ ܘܟܠܠܬܟܘܢ ܢܓܘܪܢ
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.	14 ܠܐ ܐܣܥܘܪ ܒܢܬܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܙܢܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܟܠܠܬܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܓܘܪܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܝܢ ܥܡ ܙܢܝܐ ܚܠܝܛܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܥܡ ܢܦܩܬ ܫܘܩܐ ܡܕܒܚܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܣܬܟܠ ܥܦܩ
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.	15 ܙܢܝܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒ ܠܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܓܠܓܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܣܩܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܡܘܢ ܚܝ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ
16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܬܘܪܬܐ ܕܡܪܕܬ ܡܢ ܢܝܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܪܕ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܡܟܝܠ ܢܪܥܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܪܘܚܬܐ
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.	17 ܫܘܬܦܐ ܗܘ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܗ
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.	18 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܢܝܘ ܘܪܚܡܘ ܨܥܪܐ ܘܕܚܠܬܐ
19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.	19 ܬܨܛܪܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܟܢܦܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܝܗܘܢ
