Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation

Berean Standard Bible
And
I say,
`
Hear ,
I
pray
you
, heads
of Jacob, And
ye
judges
of the house of Israel ,
Is
it
not
for
you to
know the
judgment
?
Then
I said:
“
Hear now
, O
leaders
of Jacob, you
rulers
of the house of Israel .
Should
you not
know justice
?
Ye
who
are
hating
good ,
and loving
evil ,
Taking
violently
their
skin from off
them,
And their
flesh from off
their bones ,
You
hate
good and love
evil .
You
tear
the
skin from my
people
and strip
the
flesh from their bones .
And
who
have
eaten
the flesh of My people ,
And
their skin from
off
them
have
stript,
And their bones they
have
broken,
And
they
have
spread
`
them '
out
as
in
a
pot, And
as
flesh
in the
midst
of
a caldron
.
You
eat
the flesh of my people after
stripping
off
their skin and breaking
their bones .
You
chop
them up
like
flesh
for
the
cooking
pot, like
meat
in a cauldron
. ”
Then do
they cry unto
Jehovah
, And
He doth
not answer them ,
And
hideth
His face from them at
that
time,
As
they have made
evil
their
doings
.
Then they will
cry out
to
the
LORD
, but
He will
not answer them .
At
that
time
He
will
hide
His face from them because
of
the
evil
they have done
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
concerning
the prophets Who are
causing
My people to
err
, Who are
biting
with their teeth, And
have
cried
`Peace,'
And
he
who doth
not
give
unto
their mouth,
They
have
sanctified
against
him
war.
This
is
what
the LORD
says:
“As
for
the
prophets who lead
My people astray
, who proclaim
peace
while
they
chew
with their teeth, but
declare
war
against
one
who puts
nothing
in
their mouths:
Therefore a
night ye
have
without vision
, And darkness ye
have
without divination ,
And
gone
in
hath
the sun on the
prophets, And black over them hath
been
the
day
.
Therefore night will
come
over
you
without visions
, and darkness without divination .
The sun will
set
on these
prophets, and the
daylight
will
turn
black over them.
And
ashamed
have
been
the seers ,
And confounded
have
been
the diviners ,
And
covered
their
lip
have
all of
them,
For
their is no answer ,
O
God.
Then
the seers will
be
ashamed
and the diviners will
be
disgraced.
They
will
all cover
their mouths
because
there
is no answer from
God. ”
And
yet
I have
been
full
of
power by the Spirit of Jehovah,
And
of
judgment
, and of
might
, To declare to Jacob his transgression ,
And to Israel his sin.
As
for
me,
however,
I am
filled
with
power by the Spirit of the
LORD
, with
justice
and courage
, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
Hear this, I
pray
you,
heads
of the house of Jacob ,
And ye
judges
of the house of Israel, Who are
making
judgment
abominable,
And all
uprightness
do
pervert .
Now
hear this, O
leaders
of the house of Jacob and rulers
of the house of Israel, who despise
justice
and pervert all
that
is
right,
Building
up
Zion with blood,
And Jerusalem with iniquity.
who
build
Zion with bloodshed
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Her heads
for a bribe do
judge
, And
her priests for
hire
do
teach, And her prophets for silver
divine,
And
on
Jehovah
they lean, saying, `
Is not Jehovah
in
our
midst
? Evil
doth
not
come in
upon us. '
Her leaders
judge
for a bribe, her priests teach for
a
price
, and her prophets practice
divination
for money.
Yet
they lean upon
the
LORD
, saying, “
Is not the
LORD
among
us
? No
disaster
can
come upon us. ”
Therefore, for
your
sake
, Zion is
ploughed
a field, and
Jerusalem is
heaps
, And the mount of
the
house
`is'
for
high
places
of
a forest!
Therefore, because
of
you
, Zion will
be
plowed
like
a field, Jerusalem will
become
a
heap
of
rubble
, and the temple
mount a wooded
ridge.
