4. Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5. And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
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 also will forget thy children.
7. As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
8. They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9. And it shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and will reward them their doings.
10. And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
