4:4 Yahweh’s warning to priests
4 Despite that, don’t let anyone bring a lawsuit,
and don’t let them accuse.
Your people are like those who would accuse a priest.
5 You’ll stumble during the day.
The prophets will also stumble with you at night,
and I’ll destroy Yisrael your mother.
6 My people are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge
because you have rejected knowledge and I’ll reject you from being a priest to me.
Because you’ve forgotten your God’s instructions,
I’ll also forget your children.
7 The more the priests multiplied, the more they sinned against me.
→I will change their high status into shame.
8 They feed on the sin of my people.
≈They are greedy for their wickedness.
9 It will be like people, like priests.
→I will punish them for their ways
≈and I will repay them for their actions.
10 They’ll eat but never be full.
They’ll sleep around but not prosper,
