Priests - Religious Leaders
 
Let no one fight or bring charges against another, for my dispute is with you, priest.
So you will stumble during the day, the prophet also will stumble with you at night, and I will destroy your mother.

My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge of me.

Because you rejected that knowledge, I will reject you as a priest for me. Since you forget the Law of your God, I will also forget your children. “The more they increased in number, the more they sinned against me, so I will change their glory into shame. They feed on the sin of my people; they purpose in their heart to transgress.

So it will be: like people, like priest. I will punish them for their lifestyles, rewarding them according to their behavior.
Hosea 4:4-9
