Hear the word of the LORD,
O people of Israel;
for the LORD has an indictment
against the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or
loyalty,
and no knowledge of God in
the land.
Swearing, lying, and murder,
and stealing and adultery
break out;
bloodshed follows bloodshed.
Therefore the land mourns,
and all who live in it languish;
together with the wild animals
and the birds of the air,
even the fish of the sea are perishing.
Hosea 4.1-3 (NRSV; italics and bold added)
