The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
HOS 4:4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are
as they that strive with the priest.
HOS 4:5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also
shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
HOS 4:6 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.
HOS 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore
will I change their glory into shame.
