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.

    I will reject you from being My priest.
And because you have forgotten the law of your God,
    I will also forget your children.
