6Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!
7According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.
8The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.
9And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.
10And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.
11Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,
12My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.
