7. the seers shall be disgraced,and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips,for there is no answer from God.
8. But as for me, I am filled with power,with the Spirit of the Lord,and with justice and might,to declare to Jacob his transgressionand to Israel his sin.
9. Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacoband rulers of the house of Israel, who detest justiceand make crooked all that is straight,
10. who build Zion with bloodand Jerusalem with iniquity.
11. Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the Lord and say,“Is not the Lord in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us.”
12. Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field;Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,and the mountain of the house a wooded height.
