4. Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people [are] as those striving with a priest.
5. And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother.
6. Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!
7. According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.
8. The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.
