A zeal of God but not according to knowledge

A zeal of God but not according to knowledge they were ignorant of God's righteousness they went about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God . 

This saying can be found in Romans 10:2-3

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

After reading those two verse in Romans I sat to think on it and I thought about how God told us in Hosea chapter 4 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge so I opened to Hosea 4 to read listen to how the chapter begins leading up to the statement My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge 

Hosea 4:1-6

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

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

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.

Romans 15:4 

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

1 Corinthians 10:11

Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

I would recommend read Romans chapters 10 and 15 and Hosea chapter 4 

In 1 Corinthians 10:13-14

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God

Daniel 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Psalm 97:3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
