God’s Case Against the Priests
4 “·No one should [Let no one] ·accuse [bring a charge]
or ·blame [contend against] another person.
·Don’t blame the people, you priests,
when they quarrel with you [or For my case is against you, the priests].
5 You will ·be ruined [stumble] in the day,
and your prophets will ·be ruined [stumble] with you in the night.
I will also destroy your mother [C Israel].
6 My people ·will be [or are being] destroyed,
because they ·have no [lack] knowledge.
You have ·refused to learn [rejected knowledge; or failed to acknowledge me],
so I will ·refuse to let you be [reject you as] priests to me.
You have forgotten the ·teachings [law; C Hebrew: Torah] of your God,
so I will forget your children.

4 “But let no one bring a charge,
let no one accuse another,
for your people are like those
who bring charges against a priest.(A)
5 You stumble(B) day and night,
and the prophets stumble with you.
So I will destroy your mother(C)—
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.(D)
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law(E) of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
