Hosea 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. Once an English friend found Jenny Lind sitting on the steps of a bathing-machine, on the sands, with a Lutheran Bible open on her knee, and looking out into the glory of a sunset that was shining over the waters. They talked, and the talk drew near to the inevitable question: "Oh, Madame Goldschmidt, how was it that you ever came to abandon the stage, at the very height of your success?" "When, every day," was the quiet answer, "it made me think less of this" (laying a finger on the Bible) "and nothing at all of that" (pointing to the sunset), "what else could I do?" ("Life of Jenny Lind," by Canon Scott Holland.) Parallel Verses KJV: As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.WEB: As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me.
