Yet let no one [a](A)find fault, and let no one rebuke;
For your people are like those who (B)contend with a priest.
So you will (C)stumble by day,
And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;
And I will destroy your (D)mother.
(E)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Since you have (F)rejected knowledge,
I also will (G)reject you from being My priest.
Since you have (H)forgotten the (I)Law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
