Literal Version

4:4 Yahweh’s warning to priests

4Despite that, don’t let anyone bring a lawsuit,

and don’t let them accuse.

Your people are like those who would accuse a priest.

5You’ll stumble during the day.

The prophets will also stumble with you at night,

and I’ll destroy Israel your mother.

6My 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.


7The more the priests multiplied, the more they sinned against me.

I will change their high status into shame.

8They feed on the sin of my people.

They are greedy for their wickedness.

9It will be like people, like priests.

I will punish them for their ways

and I will repay them for their actions.

10They’ll eat but never be full.

They’ll sleep around but not prosper,

because they’ve abandoned Yahweh as their protector.

4Nevertheless anyone not let_him_bring_a_case and_no anyone let_him_reprove and_people_of_you like_contention_of (of)_a_priest.
5And_stumble the_day and_stumble also a_prophet with_you night and_destroy mother_of_your.

7When_increased_they so they_sinned to_me glory_of_their in/on/at/with_shame I_will_exchange.
8The_sin_of people_of_my they_eat and_near/to iniquity_of_their they_lift_up desire_of_their.
9And_it_was like_the_people like_the_priest and_punish on/upon/above_him/it ways_of_their and_deeds_of_their I_will_repay to_him/it.
10And_eat and_not they_will_be_satisfied they_will_prostitute_themselves and_not they_will_increase if/because DOM YHWH they_have_abandoned to_guard/protect.
