Dual Panel1And I said<559>, "Hear<8085> now<4994>, heads<7218> of Jacob<3290> And rulers<7101> of the house<1004> of Israel<3478>. Is it not for you to know<3045> justice<4941>?
2"You who hate<8130> good<2896> and love<157> evil<7451>, Who tear<1497> off<1497> their skin<5785> from them And their flesh<7607> from their bones<6106>,
3Who<834> eat<398> the flesh<7607> of my people<5971>, Strip<6584> off<6584> their skin<5785> from them, Break<6476> their bones<6106> And chop<6566> them up as for the pot<5518> And as meat<1320> in a kettle<7037>."
4Then<227> they will cry<2199> out to the LORD<3068>, But He will not answer<6030> them. Instead, He will hide<5641> His face<6440> from them at that time<6256> Because<834> they have practiced<7489> evil<7489> deeds<4611>.
5Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068> concerning<5921> the prophets<5030> who lead<8582> my people<5971> astray<8582>; When they have something to bite<5391> with their teeth<8127>, They cry<7121>, "Peace<7965>," But against<5921> him who<834> puts<5414> nothing<3808> in their mouths<6310> They declare<6942> holy<6942> war<4421>.
6Therefore<3651> it will be night<3915> for you--without<4480> vision<2377>, And darkness<2825> for you--without<4480> divination<7080>. The sun<8121> will go<935> down on the prophets<5030>, And the day<3117> will become<6937> dark<6937> over<5921> them.
7The seers<2374> will be ashamed<954> And the diviners<7080> will be embarrassed<2659>. Indeed, they will all<3605> cover<5844> their mouths<8222> Because<3588> there<369> is no<369> answer<4617> from God<430>.
8On the other<199> hand<199> I am filled<4390> with power<3581>-- With the Spirit<7307> of the LORD<3068>-- And with justice<4941> and courage<1369> To make<5046> known<5046> to Jacob<3290> his rebellious<6588> act<6588>, Even to Israel<3478> his sin<2403>.
9Now<4994> hear<8085> this<2088>, heads<7218> of the house<1004> of Jacob<3290> And rulers<7101> of the house<1004> of Israel<3478>, Who abhor<8581> justice<4941> And twist<6140> everything<3605> that is straight<3477>,
10Who build<1129> Zion<6726> with bloodshed<1818> And Jerusalem<3389> with violent<5767> injustice<5767>.
11Her leaders<7218> pronounce<8199> judgment<8199> for a bribe<7810>, Her priests<3548> instruct<3384> for a price<4242> And her prophets<5030> divine<7080> for money<3701>. Yet they lean<8172> on the LORD<3068> saying<559>, "Is not the LORD<3068> in our midst<7130>? Calamity<7463> will not come<935> upon us."
12Therefore<3651>, on account<1558> of you Zion<6726> will be plowed<2790> as a field<7704>, Jerusalem<3389> will become<1961> a heap<5856> of ruins<5856>, And the mountain<2022> of the temple<1004> will become high<1116> places<1116> of a forest<3293>.
