    I reject you (F)from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,

    I will punish them for their ways
    and repay them for their deeds.

    they shall play the whore, but not multiply,
because they have forsaken the Lord
    to cherish 11 whoredom, wine, and new wine,
    which (M)take away the understanding.
