6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your 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. It will be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
10. They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.
11. Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12. My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
