4. Certainly man does not contend with nor reprehend man; for thy people are as those that resist the priest.
5. Therefore thou shalt fall in the day, and the prophet shall also fall with thee by night, and I will cut off thy mother.
6. My people were cut off because they lacked wisdom; because thou hast rejected wisdom, I will cast thee out of the priesthood; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy sons.
7. According to their greatness, so did they sin against me; therefore I will change their honour into shame.
8. They eat up the sin of my people, and in their iniquity they raise up their soul.
