Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you… The lack of this knowledge causes people to perish. Knowing God as a Father, Saviour, Sanctifier, gives the soul the consciousness of pardon, life, purity, power — the power of love — that is almost irresistible. Knowledge is power to the inventor, civil engineer, teacher and lawyer. But the knowledge of God is the greatest power. It enables all, even the weakest, to do great things. "Oh, for a knowledge and baptism of power from God. Then everywhere the people that do know God shall do exploits." (H. W. Bailey.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
