Hosea 4:4

Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people [are] as they that strive with the priest.

Yet let no man {H376} strive {H7378}, nor reprove {H3198} another {H376}: for thy people {H5971} are as they that strive {H7378} with the priest {H3548}.

But no one should quarrel or rebuke, because your people are having to quarrel with the cohen.

But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.

Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
