| 4:1 | 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. |
| 4:2 | By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. |

| 4:4 | Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 4:7 | As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. |
| 4:8 | They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. |
| 4:9 | And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. |
