6. Therefore you will have night without vision,and you will have darkness without divination;the sun will set upon the prophets,and black upon them will be the day.
7. The seers will be shamedand the diviners disgraced,and they will all cover their beards,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. Please hear this, heads of the house of Jacoband rulers of the house of Israel,who detest justiceand warp all that is straight,
10. who build Zion with bloodguiltand Jerusalem with wickedness.
11. Her leaders judge for a bribe,her priests teach for a price,and her prophets practice divination for money.Yet upon the Lord they lean, saying,“Is not the Lord in our midst?Evil will not come upon us.”
12. Therefore, because of you,Zion will be plowed like a field,Jerusalem will be mounds of ruins,and the mountain of the house will become wooded heights.
