Hosea 4:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The more priests there are,
    the more they sin against me.
I will take away their honor
    and give them nothing but shame.
⁸ The priests live off the sin offerings of the people.
    So they want the people to sin more and more.
⁹ The priests are as wrong as the people.
    I will punish them both for what they have done.
    I will repay them for the wrong they have done.
