3And I said: Listen, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Should you not know justice?—H559H8085H7218H3290H7101H1004H3478H3045H49412you who hate the good and love the evil, who tear the skin off my people, and the flesh off their bones;H8130H2896H157H7451H1497H5785H7607H61063who eat the flesh of my people, flay their skin off them, break their bones in pieces, and chop them up like meat in a kettle, like flesh in a caldron.H398H7607H5971H6584H5785H6476H6106H6566H5518H1320H8432H70374Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have acted wickedly.H2199H3068H6030H5641H6440H6256H7489H46115Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry "Peace" when they have something to eat, but declare war against those who put nothing into their mouths.H559H3068H5030H5971H8582H5391H8127H7121H7965H5414H6310H6942H44216Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without revelation. The sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them;H3915H2377H2821H2821H7080H8121H935H5030H3117H69377the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.H2374H954H7080H2659H5844H8222H4617H4308But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.H199H4390H3581H7307H3068H4941H1369H5046H3290H6588H3478H24039Hear this, you rulers of the house of Jacob and chiefs of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert all equity,H8085H7218H1004H3290H7101H1004H3478H8581H4941H6140H347710who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wrong!H1129H6726H1818H3389H576611Its rulers give judgment for a bribe, its priests teach for a price, its prophets give oracles for money; yet they lean upon the LORD and say, "Surely the LORD is with us! No harm shall come upon us."H7218H8199H7810H3548H3384H4242H5030H7080H3701H8172H3068H559H3068H7130H7451H93512Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height.H6726H1558H2790H7704H3389H5856H2022H1004H1116H3293
