7The more priests there are,
the more they sin against me.
They have traded their glorious God for that shameful god Baal.
8They live off the sins of my people.
And they want them to keep on sinning.
9So here is what I will do.
I will punish people and priests alike.
I will judge them because of their sinful lives.
I will pay them back
for the evil things they have done.
10“My people will eat.
But they will not have enough.
They will have sex with prostitutes.
But they will not have any children.
That is because they have deserted me.

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

KJV 1900King James Version
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.
And there shall be, like people, like priest:
And I will punish them for their ways,
And reward them their doings.
For they shall eat, and not have enough:
They shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase:
Because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
