Hosea 4:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The people do not know me. Because of that, they will come to an end. You refuse to respect my authority, so I will remove you as my priests. You refuse to obey the law of your God, so I will refuse to accept your children as my priests.

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.
