6 My people are doomed because they do not acknowledge me. You priests have refused to acknowledge me and have rejected my teaching, and so I reject you and will not acknowledge your sons as my priests.
7 “The more of you priests there are, the more you sin against me, and so I will turn your honour into disgrace.
8 You grow rich from the sins of my people, and so you want them to sin more and more.
9 You will suffer the same punishment as the people! I will punish you and make you pay for the evil you do.
10 You will eat your share of the sacrifices, but still be hungry. You will worship the fertility gods, but still have no children, because you have turned away from me to follow other gods.”
11 The Lord says, “Wine, both old and new, is robbing my people of their senses!
12 They ask for revelations from a piece of wood! A stick tells them what they want to know! They have left me. Like a woman who becomes a prostitute, they have given themselves to other gods.
