Context Readings

The Lord Accuses The Priests

4 Do not let anyone accuse or contend against anyone else: for my case is against you priests! 5 You stumble day and night, and the false prophets stumble with you; You have destroyed your own people! 6 You have destroyed my people by failing to acknowledge me! Because you refuse to acknowledge me, I will reject you as my priests. Because you reject the law of your God, I will reject your descendants.
