Thus the children of Israel shall sit a great while without king and prince, without offering and alter, without priest and revelation.

Yet let no man strive, and let no man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

You will stumble [by] day, and the priest also will stumble with you at night. And I will destroy your mother;

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; for thou hast rejected knowledge, and I will reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.

And it shall be as the people so the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and recompense to them their doings;

Because of the calves of Beth-aven, the people of Samaria shall dread. For its people shall mourn over it, and its priest rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.
