My people are destroyed for lacke of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reiect thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wil also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therfore wil I change their glory into shame.
8 They eate up the sinne of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquitie.
9 And there shall be like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their wayes, and reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eate, and not have enough: they shall commit whordome, and shall not increase, because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 Whoredome, and wine, and newe wine take away the heart.
12 ¶ My people aske counsel at their stocks, and their staffe declareth unto them: for the spirit of whordomes hath caused them to erre, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountaines, and burne incense upon the hilles under okes and poplars, and elmes, because the shadowe thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredome, and your spouses shall commit adulterie.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whordome, nor your spouses when they commit adulterie: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therfore the people that doth not understand, shall fall.
