Hosea 4:7

The Lord Accuses The Priests

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you! You will not be a priest to me since you have forgotten the Law of your God. Therefore, I will forget your children. ⁷ The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;
I will change their glory into shame.
⁸ They feed on the sins of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
