6 My people perishe for lacke of knowledge: because thou hast refused knowledge, therfore wyll I refuse thee also, so that thou shalt no more be my priest: and forsomuche as thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wyll also forget thy chyldren. 7 The more they increased in multitude, the more they sinned against me, therfore wyll I chaunge their honour into shame. 8 They eate vp the sinnes of my people, and encourage them in their wickednesse. 9 Thus the priest is become lyke the people: Wherfore I wyll punishe them for their wicked wayes, and rewarde them according to their owne imaginations.
