4 “But let no one bring a charge,

let no one accuse another,

for your people are like those

who bring charges against a priest.

5 You stumble day and night,

and the prophets stumble with you.

So I will destroy your mother—

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another:

For thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day,

And the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night,

And I will destroy thy mother.

4 “Don’t point your finger at someone else

and try to pass the blame!

My complaint, you priests,

is with you.

5 So you will stumble in broad daylight,

and your false prophets will fall with you in the night.

And I will destroy Israel, your mother.

4 “Now let no man contend, or rebuke another;

For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

5 Therefore you shall stumble in the day;

The prophet also shall stumble with you in the night;

And I will destroy your mother.

4 “No one should accuse

or blame another person.

Don’t blame the people, you priests,

when they quarrel with you.

5 You will be ruined in the day,

and your prophets will be ruined with you in the night.

I will also destroy your mother.

4 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 5 And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.

4 Yet let no man strive, and let no man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 5 And thou shalt stumble by day; and the prophet also shall stumble with thee by night: and I will destroy thy mother.

4 “No one should accuse other people or bring charges against them. 

My case is against you priests. 

5 During the day you stumble, 

and during the night the prophets stumble with you. 

So I will destroy your mother, ⸤the nation of Israel⸥. 

4 But let no one dispute; let no one argue,

for My case is against you priests.

5 You will stumble by day;

the prophet will also stumble with you by night.

And I will destroy your mother.

4 Yet let no one contend,

and let none accuse,

for with you is my contention, O priest.

5 You shall stumble by day;

the prophet also shall stumble with you by night,

and I will destroy your mother.

4 Yet, let no one contend,

and let no one accuse,

for with you, O priest, is my contention.

5 You will stumble by day,

and the priest also will stumble

with you at night.

And I will destroy your mother;

4 “But you priests should not blame the people.

You should not find fault with one another.

After all, your people

could also bring charges against you.

5 You trip and fall day and night.

And the prophets fall down along with you.

So I will destroy your nation.

She is the one who gave birth to you.

4 Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof;

For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

5 So you will stumble by day,

And the prophet also will stumble with you by night;

And I will destroy your mother.
