7
And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their upper lips; for there shall be no answer of G-d.
8
But I truly am full of power by the spirit of HaShem, and of justice, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity;
10
That build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11
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 HaShem, and say: 'Is not HaShem in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us'?
12
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 a forest.
