Today is the sixth day of December. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian. It's

great to be here with you today as we continue the journey, the journey we've been on all year and we have a bit of well

I don't know what do we have a bit of ocean bit of road a bit of terrain, a bit of terrain. Yet in front of us, we have begun the book of

Josea yesterday. We will continue our journey through Josea today'll read a whole book, but we'll talk about that

in a minute.

But first, Jose atat chapters four and five today.

Hear the word of the Lord,

people of Israel, for the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land.

There is no truth, no faithful love, and no knowledge of God in the land.

Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant.

One act of bloodshed follows another.

For this reason the land mourns. One act of bloodshed follows another.

For this reason the land mourns,

and everyone who lives in it languishes,

along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky.

Even the fish of the

sky,

but let no one dispute let no one argue for my case is against you priests

you will stumble by day. The Prophet will also stumble with you by night, and I will

destroy your mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Because you have rejected knowledge,

I will reject you from serving as my priest.
