And I said, Hear now, heads of Ya'aqov and commanders of the house of Yisra'el. Is it not for you to know justice?

You who hate good and love evil, who flay their skin from them and their flesh from their bones.

And who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from them, and break their bones, and divide them like meat in a pot, and like flesh in a cauldron.

Then they will cry out to יהוה, and He will not answer them, and He will hide His face from them at that time, because they have done evil in their deeds.

Thus says יהוה concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who bite with their teeth and cry, 'Peace!' and whoever does not put something in their mouths, they declare war against him.

Therefore, it is night for you from vision, and darkness for you from divination. And the sun will set on the prophets, and the day will grow dark for them.

And the seers will be ashamed, and the diviners will be embarrassed. They will all cover their mouths, because there is no answer from Elohim.

But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of יהוה, and with justice and might, to declare to Ya'aqov his rebellion and to Yisra'el his sin.

Hear this now, heads of the house of Ya'aqov and commanders of the house of Yisra'el, who detest justice and distort everything that is right.

Who build Tsiyon with bloodshed and Yerushalayim with iniquity.

Her heads judge for a bribe, and her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for silver. Yet they lean on יהוה, saying, 'Is not יהוה in our midst? No disaster will come upon us.'

Therefore, because of you, Tsiyon will be plowed like a field, and Yerushalayim will become ruins, and the mountain of the house will be like wooded heights.
