(A)Yet let no one contend,
    and let none accuse,
    for with you is (B)my contention, O priest.[a]
You shall stumble by day;
    the prophet also shall stumble with you by night;
    and I will destroy (C)your mother.
My people are destroyed (D)for lack of knowledge;
    (E)because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you (F)from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
    (G)I also will forget your children.
