The more they (A)multiplied, the more they sinned against Me;
I will (B)change their glory into shame.
They (C)feed on the [a]sin of My people,
And (D)long for their wrongdoing.
And it will be, like people, (E)like priest;
So I will (F)punish them for their ways
And repay them for their deeds.
10 (G)They will eat, but not have enough;
They will (H)play the prostitute, but not [b]increase,
Because they (I)gave up devoting themselves to the Lord.
