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.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 4 of Hosea. The growth in the number of priests does not produce faithfulness, but greater participation in sin. Hosea denounces that religious leaders benefit from offerings associated with sin and end up desiring the people’s iniquity. The irony is that a religious system can continue functioning outwardly while its leaders accommodate themselves to what God condemns.

daß sie werden essen, und nicht satt werden, Hurerei treiben und sich nicht ausbreiten, darum daß sie den HERRN verlassen haben und ihn nicht achten.
Y comerán, mas no se hartarán; fornicarán, mas no se aumentarán: porque dejaron de atender a Jehová.
Comerán, pero no se saciarán; se prostituirán, pero no se multiplicarán, porque dejaron de hacer caso a Jehová.
Ils mangeront sans se rassasier, Ils se prostitueront sans multiplier, Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'Eternel et ses commandements.
E mangeranno, ma non si sazieranno; fornicheranno, ma non moltiplicheranno; perciocchè han lasciato il servigio del Signore.
Comerão, mas não se fartarão; entregar-se-ão à luxúria, mas não se multiplicarão; porque deixaram de atentar ao SENHOR.
他們吃,卻不得飽足; 行淫,卻不繁衍; 因為他們離棄耶和華, 常行
