Hosea 4

The prostitution theme continues. The Israelites were very religious and continued the sacrifices, but they were in worship of other gods. God (Lord God) is not happy with this and considers it adultery.

God is also not impressed with the number of priests. If we recall, some of the kings had allowed non-Levites to become priests. God was mad at this, even though the priests were for other gods.

There also seems to be a spiritual effect in the land as the land is becoming more barren. This will cause famines.
