Hosea 4:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ My people are perishing
    for want of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
    I will reject you as my priests.
And since you have forsaken the law of your God,
    I will also reject your children.
⁷ The more the number of priests increased,
    the more they sinned against me,
    turning their glory into shame.
⁸ They feed on the sins of my people;
    they are insatiable in their hunger for iniquity.
