MLV(i)
25 Your* iniquities have turned away these things and your* sins have withheld good from you*.
26 For among my people are found wicked men. They watch as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great and grown rich. 28 They have grown fat. They shine. Yes, they overflow in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper. And they do not judge the right of the needy.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 An astonishing and horrible thing has happen in the land. 31 The prophets prophesy falsely and the priests bear rule by their means. And my people love to have it so. And what will you* do in the end of it?
