ESVEnglish Standard Version
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
The more they increased,
the more they sinned against me;
I will change their glory into shame.
They feed on the sin of my people;
they are greedy for their iniquity.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
The more priests there were,
the more they sinned against me;
they exchanged their glorious God for something disgraceful.
They feed on the sins of my people
and relish their wickedness.

NLTNew Living Translation
My people are being destroyed
because they don’t know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me,
I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
I will forget to bless your children.
The more priests there are,
the more they sin against me.
They have exchanged the glory of God
for the shame of idols.
“When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed.
So the priests are glad when the people sin!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
My people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from acting as a priest for me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I will also forget your children.
When they became many, their sin increased against me;
they changed their glory into shame.
They feed on the sin of my people,
they are greedy for their iniquity.

KJV 1900King James Version
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
Because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children.
As they were increased, so they sinned against me:
Therefore will I change their glory into shame.
They eat up the sin of my people,
And they set their heart on their iniquity.
