    Hosea 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.
    • 2   By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
    • 3   Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
    • 4   Yet let no man contend, nor reprove another: for thy people [are] as they that contend with the priest.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 7   As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame.
    • 8   They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
    • 9   And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
    • 10   For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall be guilty of lewdness, and shall not increase: because they have ceased to take heed to the LORD.
    • 11   Lewdness and wine and new wine take away the heart.
    • 12   My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth to them: for the spirit of lewdness hath caused [them] to err, and they have gone astray from under their God.
    • 13   They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shade of them is agreeable: therefore your daughters shall be guilty of lewdness, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
    • 14   I will not punish your daughters when they are guilty of lewdness, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for they themselves are separated with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people [that] doth not understand shall fall.
    • 15   Though thou, Israel, playest the harlot, [yet] let not Judah offend; and come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
    • 16   For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
    • 17   Ephraim [is] joined to idols: let him alone.
    • 18   Their drink is sour: they have been guilty of lewd deeds continually: her rulers [with] shame do love, Give ye.
    • 19   The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
