Hosea 4:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ You shall stumble in the daylight,
    while the prophets will stumble with you at night,
    and I will destroy your mother.
⁶ My people are perishing
    for want of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
    I will reject you as my priests.
And since you have forsaken the law of your God,
    I will also reject your children.
⁷ The more the number of priests increased,
    the more they sinned against me,
    turning their glory into shame.
