Batman: "Gothamites, we must pay heed to the words of Hosea 4! The Lord accuses His people of no knowledge, and their leaders of having gone astray.

Catwoman: Oh, how droll. What else does it say?

Batman: Well, the Lord proclaims that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and that their priests have rejected the law. Their people perish for lack of understanding, and their leaders are swallowed up by their own folly.

Robin: It's as if they've been cursed, Batman.

Batman: Indeed, Robin. The Lord goes on to say that they must bear the guilt of their offerings and their idolatries, and their sin will be with them.

Joker: Ha ha! What a delightful punishment!

Batman: Not so fast, Joker. The Lord also pronounces His judgment on the land and its inhabitants. He says that the land itself, and all that dwell therein, shall be consumed with the fire of His jealousy.

Robin: That's not very nice, Batman.

Batman: No, it's not. But it's a reminder that we must be ever vigilant of our actions and our worship. We must heed the Lord's words and walk in His ways.
