Hosea 4:8

The Lord Accuses The Priests

⁷ According to their greatness, so did they sin against me; therefore I will change their honour into shame. ⁸ They feed on the sin of My people
And direct their desire toward their iniquity.
⁹ The people shall become like the priest; and I will visit his ways upon him, and they shall reward him according to his doings.
