1And I said: Hear, please, you heads of Jacob and you chiefs of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice?2You who hate good and love evil, who plunder their skin from them and their flesh from their bones.3And those who ate the flesh of my people and stripped their skin from them and broke their bones and spread them as in the pot and as flesh in the midst of a caldron.4Then they will cry out to the LORD, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have done evil in their deeds.5Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who bite with their teeth and proclaim peace, but against anyone who does not put anything into their mouth they consecrate war.6Therefore night will come upon you apart from vision, and darkness will come upon you apart from divination; the sun will set upon the prophets, and the day will grow dark over them.7The seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be put to shame; they will all cover their mustache, because there is no answer from God.8But as for me, I am filled with strength, with the spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.9Hear this, please, you heads of the house of Jacob and you chiefs of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and twist all that is upright.10They build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.11Her heads judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets divine for silver; yet they lean upon the LORD and say, 'Is not the LORD in our midst? No harm will come upon us.'12Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a ruin, and the mountain of the house will become high places of wood.
