And you will be ruined on this day, and now the prophet will be ruined with you. In the night, I have made your mother to be silent.
My people have become silent because they had no knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, I will drive you away; you do not perform the duties of the priesthood for me, and you have forgotten the law of your God, and so I will forget your sons.
According to the multitude of them, so have they sinned against me. I will change their glory into disgrace.
They will devour the sins of my people, and they will lift up their souls towards their iniquity.
And, just as it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them for their intentions.
And they will eat and not be satisfied. They have been committing fornication, and they did not cease. Since they have abandoned the Lord, they will not be safeguarded.
Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness, have taken away their heart.
