Howbeit let, no man, contend, nor let him rebuke another, - since, thy people, are as they who contend against a priest:

So shouldst thou stumble in the daytime, and even the prophet stumble with thee, in the night, - and I should destroy thine own mother.

My people, are destroyed, for lack of knowledge, - Because, thou, hast rejected knowledge, therefore will I reject thee from ministering as priest unto me, and, because thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also, will forget thy children.

As they were magnified, so, they sinned against me, - My glory - for what was contemptible, did they exchange.

The sin of my people, they do eat, - and. unto their iniquity, lift they up every man his desire.

So doth it come to be - like people, like priest, - therefore will I visit upon him his ways, and, his doings, will I bring back to him;

And they shall eat, and not be satisfied, they have encouraged unchastity, yet have not been making increase, - for unto, Yahweh, have they left off giving heed: -

Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.
