¹ Woe to those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is—to God. ² And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance. ³ Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am devising against this family evil, From which ye do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for a time of evil it is . ⁴ In that day doth one take up for you a simile, And he hath wailed a wailing of woe, He hath said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He doth change, How doth He move toward me!

Do not My words benefit the people that is walking uprightly? <sup>8</sup> And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up, From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off, From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from war. <sup>9</sup> The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age. <sup>10</sup> Rise and go, for this is not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful. <sup>11</sup> If one is going with the wind, And with falsehood hath lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He hath been the prophet of this people!

¹ 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? <sup>2</sup> Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones, <sup>3</sup> 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. <sup>4</sup> 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. <sup>5</sup> 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. ⁶ 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. ⁷ 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.
⁸ 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. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity. ¹¹ 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.' ¹² 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!
