Final answer:

Hosea 4:6 indicates that the Lord will reject 'My people' from being priests because they have rejected knowledge and forgotten His laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Hosea 4:6, the Lord states, "Because my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

This passage specifically explains that because the people have rejected knowledge, the Lord will reject them from being priests to Him. It highlights a theme of divine retribution for failing to uphold the covenant and laws established by God.
