3Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone who dwells therein shall languish, with the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also shall be taken away.
4Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for your people are as those who strive with the priest.
5You shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
7As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
8They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
9It shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings.
