You stumble day and night, and the false prophets stumble with you; You have destroyed your own people!
You have destroyed my people by failing to acknowledge me! Because you refuse to acknowledge me, I will reject you as my priests. Because you reject the law of your God, I will reject your descendants.
The more the priests increased in numbers, the more they rebelled against me. They have turned their glorious calling into a shameful disgrace!
They feed on the sin offerings of my people; their appetites long for their iniquity!
I will deal with the people and priests together: I will punish them both for their ways, and I will repay them for their deeds.
They will eat, but not be satisfied; they will engage in prostitution, but not increase in numbers; because they have abandoned the LORD by pursuing other gods.
