Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
bBecause you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
So I will punish them for their ways,
And reward them for their deeds.
They shall commit harlotry, but not increase;
Because they have ceased obeying the Lord.
The Idolatry of Israel
