⁷ The more priests there were,
    the more they sinned against me;
    they exchanged their glorious God^[a](A) for something disgraceful.^(B)

⁴ They make many promises,
    take false oaths^(A)
    and make agreements;^(B)
therefore lawsuits spring up
    like poisonous weeds^(C) in a plowed field.
