Lacking Knowledge

Hosea 4:6-8 “‭6 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. ‭7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. ‭8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.”

Job 21:13-14 “‭13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. ‭14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.” Job 21:13-14

Job 21:22-23 “‭22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. ‭23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.”

Psalms 14:2-5 “‭2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. ‭3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ‭4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. ‭5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.” repeated in Psalms 53:5.

Psalms 119:66-67 “‭66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. ‭67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.”

Proverbs 1:7-14 “‭7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. ‭8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: ‭9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. ‭10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. ‭11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: ‭12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:... 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:”

2 Peter 2:15-22 “‭15 ...forsaken the right way... following the way of Balaam ... who loved the wages of unrighteousness; ‭16 But was rebuked for his iniquity... ‭18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. ‭19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. ‭20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. ‭21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ‭22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
