1: And I said,H0559 Hear,H8085 now,H4994 headsH7218 of Jacob,H3290 and you rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of Israel-H3478 [is it] notH3808 to knowH3045 -H0853 justice?H4941
2: You who hateH8130 good,H2896 and loveH0157 evil-H7451 who stripH1497 the skinH5785 from My peopleH5921 and the fleshH7607 fromH5921 their bones-H6106
3: and whoH0834 eatH0398 the fleshH7607 of My people,H5971 and their skinH5785 from themH5921 FlayH6584 andH0853 their bones,H6106 BreakH6476 and chop [them] in pieces,H6566 Like [meat]H0834 for the pot,H5518 and Like fleshH1320 inH8432 the caldron.H7037
4: ThenH0227 they will cryH2199 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 but notH3808 He will hearH6030 themH0853 and even He will hideH5641 His faceH6440 from themH1992 at time,H6256 thatH1931 becauseH0834 they have been evilH7489 in their deeds.H4611
5: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 concerningH5921 the prophetsH5030 who make stray,H8582 -H0853 my peopleH5971 while they chewH5391 with their teeth,H8127 and who chant,H7121 Peace-H7965 butH0834 nothingH3808 who putsH5414 intoH5921 their mouths,H6310 and who prepareH6942 against himH5921 war.H4421
6: ThereforeH3651 nightH3915 without vision-H2377 and darknessH2821 without divination-H7080 and shall go downH0935 the sunH8121 onH5921 the prophets,H5030 and shall be darkH6937 for themH5921 the day.H3117
7: So shall be ashamed,H0954 the seersH2374 and abashed.H2659 The divinersH7080 and indeed they shall coverH5844 onH5921 lips-H8222 all theirH3605 forH3588 [there is] noH0369 answer fromH4617 God.H0430
8: But trulyH0199 IH0595 am fullH4390 of powerH3581 byH0853 the SpiritH7307 of Yahweh,H3068 and of justice,H4941 and might,H1369 to declareH5046 to JacobH3290 his transgression,H6588 and to IsraelH3478 his sin.H2403
9: HearH8085 now,H4994 this,H2063 You headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 and rulersH7101 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 who abhorH8581 justice,H4941 andH0853 allH3605 equityH3477 pervert.H6140
10: Who build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodshed,H1818 and JerusalemH3389 with iniquity.H5766
11: Her headsH7218 for a bribe,H7810 judgeH8199 and Her priestsH3548 for pay,H4242 teachH3384 and her prophetsH5030 for money.H3701 DivineH7080 and yet onH5921 Yahweh,H3068 they leanH8172 and say,H0559 is notH3808 YahwehH3068 among usH7130 NoH3808 can comeH0935 upon usH5921 harm.H7451
12: ThereforeH3651 because of youH1558 ZionH6726 [like] a field,H7704 shall be plowedH2790 JerusalemH3389 heaps of [ruins],H5856 shall becomeH1961 and the mountainH2022 of the templeH1004 Like the bare hillsH1116 of the forest.H3293
