Hosea 4:7

The Lord Accuses The Priests

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I will reject you from serving as My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your sons. ⁷ The more they multiplied,
the more they sinned against Me.
I will change their honor into disgrace.
⁸ They feed on the sin of My people;
they have an appetite for their transgressions.

but those who despise Me will be disgraced.
