Hosea 4:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ The more priests that there are among you, the more sins they do against me. They should have received honour as priests, but I will make them ashamed. ⁸ They get food to eat when the people bring their sin offerings to them. So the priests are happy when the people do bad things, because they get more food to eat. ⁹ The people do whatever the priests do. I will punish them all for the bad things that they do. I will give them what their sins deserve.
