And I saidH559, HearH8085, I pray you, O headsH7218 of JacobH3290, and ye princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Is it not for you to knowH3045 judgmentH4941?
Who hateH8130 the goodH2896, and loveH157 the evilH7451; who pluck offH1497 their skinH5785 from off them, and their fleshH7607 from off their bonesH6106;
Who also eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971, and flayH6584 their skinH5785 from off them; and they breakH6476 their bonesH6106, and chop them in piecesH6566, as for the potH5518, and as fleshH1320 withinH8432 the caldronH7037.
Then shall they cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, but he will not hearH6030 them: he will even hideH5641 his faceH6440 from them at that timeH6256, as they have behaved themselves illH7489 in their doingsH4611.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821+H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them. {that…: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that…: divine: Heb. from divining}
Then shall the seersH2374 be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659: yea, they shall all coverH5844 their lipsH8222; for there is no answerH4617 of GodH430. {lips: Heb. upper lip}
But trulyH199 I am fullH4390 of powerH3581 by the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and of judgmentH4941, and of mightH1369, to declareH5046 unto JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588, and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403.
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.

And I saidH559, HearH8085, I pray you, O headsH7218 of JacobH3290, and ye princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Is it not for you to knowH3045 judgmentH4941?
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
GoH3212, and gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and sayH559 unto them, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of JacobH3290, appearedH7200 unto me, sayingH559, I have surelyH6485 visitedH6485 you, and seen that which is doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714:
CursedH779 be he that pervertethH5186 the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, fatherlessH3490, and widowH490. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
HearH8085 ye this, O priestsH3548; and hearkenH7181, ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and give ye earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for judgmentH4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snareH6341 on MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396.
To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. Do ye indeedH552 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, O congregationH482? do ye judgeH8199 uprightlyH4339, O ye sonsH1121 of menH120? {Altaschith…: or, Destroy not, A golden Psalm of David}
Yea, in heartH3820 ye workH6466 wickednessH5766; ye weighH6424 the violenceH2555 of your handsH3027 in the earthH776.
He that justifiethH6663 the wickedH7563, and he that condemnethH7561 the justH6662, even they bothH8147 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068.
