They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
They eat up the sin of my people - i:e., the sin offerings (Leviticus 6:26; Leviticus 10:17). The priests greedily devoured them.
And they set their heart on their iniquity - literally, lift up the animal soul to, i:e., lust after, or strongly desire. Compare margin, Deuteronomy 24:15; Psalms 24:4. "who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity;" Jeremiah 22:27, margin. The priests set their own hearts on the iniquity of the people, instead of trying to suppress it. For the more the people sinned, the more sacrificial victims in atonement for sin the prints gained for their eating.
