The Failure of the Priests and People
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.
