They feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness.

They live off the sins of my people. And they want them to keep on sinning.

They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.

They feed on the sin of my people; they have an appetite for their iniquity.

They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.

Like greedy dogs, they are never satisfied. They are ignorant shepherds, all following their own path and intent on personal gain.

You rulers make decisions based on bribes; you priests teach God’s laws only for a price; you prophets won’t prophesy unless you are paid. Yet all of you claim to depend on the Lord.“ No harm can come to us,” you say,“ for the Lord is here among us.”

Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.

They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.

The priest who offers the sacrifice as a sin offering must eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.

“ How I wish one of you would shut the Temple doors so that these worthless sacrifices could not be offered! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,“ and I will not accept your offerings.

So why do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings? Why do you give your sons more honor than you give me— for you and they have become fat from the best offerings of my people Israel!

Any male from a priest’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a sacred place, for it is most holy.“ The same instructions apply to both the guilt offering and the sin offering. Both belong to the priest who uses them to purify someone, making that person right with the Lord.

I, the Lord, will answer all those, both Israelites and foreigners, who reject me and set up idols in their hearts and so fall into sin, and who then come to a prophet asking for my advice.

“ Son of man, these leaders have set up idols in their hearts. They have embraced things that will make them fall into sin. Why should I listen to their requests?

Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.

O Lord, I give my life to you.

In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
