Hosea 4:7-9
Complete Jewish Bible
7 The more they increased in number,
the more they sinned against me.
I will change their glory into shame.
8 They feed on the sin of my people
and are greedy for their crimes.
9 But the cohen will fare
no better than the people;
I will punish him for his ways
and pay him back for his deeds.
Hosea 4:7-9
New International Version
7 The more priests there were,
the more they sinned against me;
they exchanged their glorious God[a](A) for something disgraceful.(B)
8 They feed on the sins of my people
and relish their wickedness.(C)
9 And it will be: Like people, like priests.(D)
I will punish both of them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.(E)
