7qAs they were increased, so they sinned against me:

rTherefore will I change their glory into shame.

8They seat up the sin of my people,

And they †tset their heart on their iniquity.

9uAnd there shall be, ulike people, like priest:

And vI will †punish them for their ways,

And v†reward them their doings.

10For wthey shall eat, and not have enough:

They shall commit whoredom, and shall not xincrease:

Because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

And it shall be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

They shall eat, but not be satisfied;

they shall play the whore, but not multiply,

because they have forsaken the Lord

to cherish

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

And it will be: Like people, like priests.

I will punish both of them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

“They will eat but not have enough;

they will engage in prostitution but not flourish,

because they have deserted the Lord

to give themselves

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The more they multiplied,

the more they sinned against me.

I will change their honor into disgrace.

They feed on the sin of my people;

they have an appetite for their iniquity.

The same judgment will happen

to both people and priests.

I will punish them for their ways

and repay them for their deeds.

They will eat but not be satisfied;

they will be promiscuous but not multiply.

For they have abandoned their devotion to the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

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!

‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’

So now I will punish both priests and people

for their wicked deeds.

They will eat and still be hungry.

They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it,

for they have deserted the Lord

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

And it will be like people, like priest;

I will punish them for their ways,

and I will requite them for their deeds.

They will eat and not be satisfied;

they will play the whore and not multiply,

because they have forsaken Yahweh to devote themselves to
