King James Version
I said, "Please
listen
, you heads of Jacob, And rulers
of the house of Israel :
Isn't
it for you to know justice
?
And
I said, Hear
, I
pray
you ,
O
heads of Jacob, and ye
princes
of the house of Israel ;
Is
it not
for you to know judgment
?
You
who hate the good, And love the evil; Who tear
off their skin, And their flesh from off their bones;
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck
off their skin from
off
them
, and their flesh from off their bones;
Who also eat the flesh of my people, And flay their skin from off them ,
And break their bones, And chop them in pieces, as for the pot, And as flesh within the caldron.
Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them ;
and they
break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Then they will
cry to
Yahweh
, But he will not answer
them .
Yes,
he will hide his face from them at that time, Because
they made
their deeds
evil
. "
Then shall
they cry unto
the
LORD
, but he will not hear
them :
he will even
hide his face from them at that time, as
they have
behaved
themselves
ill
in
their doings
.
Thus says
Yahweh
concerning the prophets who
lead
my people astray;
for
those
who
feed
their teeth, they
proclaim
, "
Peace !"
and whoever
doesn't
provide
for
their mouths, they prepare war against him :
Thus saith
the
LORD
concerning the prophets that
make
my people err,
that
bite
with
their teeth, and
cry
, Peace ;
and he
that
putteth
not
into
their mouths, they even
prepare war against him .
"
Therefore night is
over
you, with
no
vision ,
And it is
dark to
you, that you
may
not divine; And the sun will
go down on
the prophets, And the day will
be black
over them.
Therefore night shall
be
unto
you, that
ye
shall
not
have
a
vision ;
and it shall
be
dark unto
you, that ye
shall
not divine; and the sun shall
go down over
the prophets, and the day shall
be dark
over them.
The seers shall
be disappointed
, And the diviners confounded .
Yes
, they shall all cover their lips; For there is no answer from
God. "
Then
shall
the seers be ashamed
, and the diviners confounded :
yea
, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of
God.
But as
for
me,
I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh
, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to
Jacob his disobedience
, And to Israel his sin.
But truly
I am full of power by the spirit of the
LORD
, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto
Jacob his transgression
, and to Israel his sin.
Please
listen
to
this, you heads of the house of Jacob, And rulers
of the house of Israel, Who
abhor justice
, And pervert all equity.
Hear
this, I
pray
you ,
ye
heads of the house of Jacob, and princes
of the house of Israel, that
abhor judgment
, and pervert all equity.
They build up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Her
leaders
judge for bribes
, And her
priests teach for a
price
, And her
prophets of
it
tell
forturnes
for money: Yet they lean on
Yahweh
, and say, Isn't
Yahweh
in
the midst
of
us? No
disaster
will
come on
us.
The
heads
thereof
judge for reward
, and the
priests thereof
teach for hire
, and the
prophets thereof
divine
for money: yet will
they lean upon
the
LORD
, and say, Is
not
the LORD
among
us? none
evil
can
come upon
us.
Therefore Zion for your sake will
be plowed like
a field, And Jerusalem will
become heaps of
rubble
, And the mountain of the temple
like
the high places of a
forest.
Therefore shall
Zion for your sake be plowed as
a field, and Jerusalem shall
become heaps, and the mountain of the house
as
the high places of the
forest.
