3. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4. Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
5. And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
7. As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
8. They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
