| 1 H559 And I said [H8799] H8085 , Hear [H8798] H7218 , I pray you, O heads H3290 of Jacob H7101 , and ye princes H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H3045 ; Is it not for you to know [H8800] H4941 judgment? 2 H8130 Who hate [H8802] H2896 the good H157 , and love [H8802] H7451 the evil H1497 ; who pluck off [H8802] H5785 their skin H7607 from off them, and their flesh H6106 from off their bones; 3 H398 Who also eat [H8804] H7607 the flesh H5971 of my people H6584 , and flay [H8689] H5785 their skin H6476 from off them; and they break [H8765] H6106 their bones H6566 , and chop them in pieces [H8804] H5518 , as for the pot H1320 , and as flesh H8432 within H7037 the caldron. 4 H2199 Then shall they cry [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H6030 , but he will not hear [H8799] H5641 them: he will even hide [H8686] H6440 his face H6256 from them at that time H7489 , as they have behaved themselves ill [H8689] H4611 in their doings. 5 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5030 concerning the prophets H5971 that make my people H8582 err [H8688] H5391 , that bite [H8802] H8127 with their teeth H7121 , and cry [H8804] H7965 , Peace H5414 ; and he that putteth [H8799] H6310 not into their mouths H6942 , they even prepare [H8765] H4421 war against him. 6 H3915 Therefore night H2377 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision H2821 ; and it shall be dark [H8675] H2821 [H8804] H7080 unto you, that ye shall not divine [H8800] H8121 ; and the sun H935 shall go down [H8804] H5030 over the prophets H3117 , and the day H6937 shall be dark [H8804] over them. 7 H2374 Then shall the seers H954 be ashamed [H8804] H7080 , and the diviners [H8802] H2659 confounded [H8804] H5844 : yea, they shall all cover [H8804] H8222 their lips H4617 ; for there is no answer H430 of God. 8 H199 But truly H4390 I am full [H8804] H3581 of power H7307 by the spirit H3068 of the LORD H4941 , and of judgment H1369 , and of might H5046 , to declare [H8687] H3290 unto Jacob H6588 his transgression H3478 , and to Israel H2403 his sin. 9 H8085 Hear [H8798] H7218 this, I pray you, ye heads H1004 of the house H3290 of Jacob H7101 , and princes H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H8581 , that abhor [H8764] H4941 judgment H6140 , and pervert [H8762] H3477 all equity. 10 H1129 They build up [H8802] H6726 Zion H1818 with blood H3389 , and Jerusalem H5766 with iniquity. 11 H7218 The heads H8199 thereof judge [H8799] H7810 for reward H3548 , and the priests H3384 thereof teach [H8686] H4242 for hire H5030 , and the prophets H7080 thereof divine [H8799] H3701 for money H8172 : yet will they lean [H8735] H3068 upon the LORD H559 , and say [H8800] H3068 , Is not the LORD H7130 among H7451 us? none evil H935 can come [H8799] upon us. 12 H6726 Therefore shall Zion H1558 for your sake H2790 be plowed [H8735] H7704 as a field H3389 , and Jerusalem H5856 shall become heaps H2022 , and the mountain H1004 of the house H1116 as the high places H3293 of the forest. |
