2 Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant;one act of bloodshed follows another.
3 For this reason the land mourns, and everyone who lives in it languishes,along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky;even the fish of the sea disappear.
4 But let no one dispute; let no one argue,for My case is against you priests.
5 You will stumble by day; the prophet will also stumble with you by night.And I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as My priest.Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons.
7 The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me.I will change their honor into disgrace.
8 They feed on the sin of My people; they have an appetite for their transgressions.
