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
And their1 staff informs them.
For bthe spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray,
And they have played the harlot against their God.
And burn incense on the hills,
Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,
Because their shade is good.
bTherefore your daughters commit harlotry,
And your brides commit adultery.
