6 I will destroy my people because they are ignorant.You have refused to learn,so I will refuse to let you be my priests.You have forgotten the teachings of your God,so I will forget your children.
7 The more priests there are,the more they sin against me.So I will turn their glory into shame.
8 They feed on the sins of my people,and they want them to do wicked things.
9 So the priests will be punished like the people.I will punish them for their wicked waysand pay them back for what they have done.
10 “They will eat, but they’ll never be full.They will have sex with prostitutes, but they’ll never have children.They have abandoned the Lord.
11 Prostitutes, old wine, and new wine have robbed them of their senses.
12 My people ask their wooden idols for help.A piece of wood tells them what to do.A spirit of prostitution leads them astray.They commit adulteryby giving themselves to other gods.
