6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.‘Because you have rejected knowledge,I also reject you as my priests;because you have ignored the law of your God,I also will ignore your children.
7 The more priests there were,the more they sinned against me;they exchanged their glorious God for something disgraceful.
8 They feed on the sins of my peopleand relish their wickedness.
9 And it will be: like people, like priests.I will punish both of them for their waysand repay them for their deeds.
10 ‘They will eat but not have enough;they will engage in prostitution but not flourish,because they have deserted the Lordto give themselves
11 to prostitution;old wine and new winetake away their understanding.
12 My people consult a wooden idol,and a diviner’s rod speaks to them.A spirit of prostitution leads them astray;they are unfaithful to their God.
