1 And he shall say, Hear now these words, you heads of the house of Jacob, and you remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
2 [who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
3 even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,
And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
4 thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not listen to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:
Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
6 therefore there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them.
Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
7 And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to listen to them.
And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
8 Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
9 Hear now these words, you chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
10 who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
[who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
11 The heads thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among us? no evil shall come upon us.
Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
12 Therefore on your account Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest.
Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
