6Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
7Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.
8The sin of my people is like food to them; and their desire is for their wrongdoing.
9And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.
10They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord.
12My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
