Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you… The word used signifies to reject with despite and contempt. Knowledge is rejected in two ways. 1. When the means of knowledge are rejected, then knowledge is rejected. 2. When the directions of our knowledge are rejected, when we refuse to be guided by it, upon this our knowledge decays, and eventually is contemned. (Jeremiah Burroughs.) 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. |
