Therefore the land dries up,
    and everyone who lives in it withers
with the beasts of the field
    and the birds of the sky;
    even the fish of the sea disappear.

Yet let no one contend,
    and let none reprove another,
for your people are like those
    that contend with a priest.[a]
You will stumble in the day,
    and the prophet also will stumble with you in the night,
and I will destroy your mother.
