Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 4 of Hosea. The priests receive a particular accusation because they rejected knowledge and forgot God’s law. The religious problem is not simply that the people sin, but that those who were supposed to teach have stopped fulfilling their role. The increase of sin and the loss of knowledge are presented as related. When covenant instruction is abandoned, the community loses a fundamental reference for discerning good and evil.

Darum sollst du bei Tage fallen und der Prophet des Nachts neben dir fallen; also will ich deine Mutter zu Grunde richten.
Caerás por tanto en el día, y caerá también contigo el profeta de noche; y a tu madre talaré.
Tropezarás de día, y también el profeta tropezará contigo de noche; y destruiré a tu madre.
Tu tomberas de jour, Le prophète avec toi tombera de nuit, Et je détruirai ta mère.
Perciò, tu caderai di giorno, ed anche il profeta caderà di notte; ed io distruggerò tua madre
Por isso tropeçarás de dia, e o profeta contigo tropeçará de noite; e destruirei a tua mãe.
日間你必跌倒, 夜間先知也要與你一同跌倒; 我要滅絕你的母親。
