1 and to say to hear: hear please head: leader Jacob and chief house: household Israel not to/for you to/for to know [obj] [the] justice
I said, “Now listen, you leaders of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not right for you to understand justice?
2 to hate good and to love: lover (bad: evil *Q(K)*) to plunder skin their from upon them and flesh their from upon bone their
You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, their flesh from their bones—
3 and which to eat flesh people my and skin their from upon them to strip and [obj] bone their to break out and to spread like/as as which in/on/with pot and like/as flesh in/on/with midst caldron
you who also eat the flesh of my people, and tear their skin off, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, just like meat for a pot, just like meat in a cauldron.
4 then to cry out to(wards) LORD and not to answer [obj] them and to hide face his from them in/on/with time [the] he/she/it like/as as which be evil deed their
Then you rulers will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time, because you have done evil deeds.”
5 thus to say LORD upon [the] prophet [the] to go astray [obj] people my [the] to bite in/on/with tooth their and to call: call out peace and which not to give: give upon lip their and to consecrate: prepare upon him battle
Yahweh says this, “As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one gives them something to eat, they proclaim, 'Peace.' But if he puts nothing in their mouths, they dedicate themselves to wage war on him.
6 to/for so night to/for you from vision and to darken to/for you from to divine and to come (in): (sun)set [the] sun upon [the] prophet and be dark upon them [the] day
Therefore, it will be night for you with no vision for you; it will be dark so that you will do no divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be dark on them.
7 and be ashamed [the] seer and be ashamed [the] to divine and to enwrap upon mustache all their for nothing answer God
The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no answer from me.”
8 and but I to fill strength [obj] spirit LORD and justice and might to/for to tell to/for Jacob transgression his and to/for Israel sin his
But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and am full of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 to hear: hear please this head: leader house: household Jacob and chief house: household Israel [the] to abhor justice and [obj] all [the] upright to twist
Now listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who detest justice, and pervert everything right.
10 to build Zion in/on/with blood and Jerusalem in/on/with injustice
You build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 head: leader her in/on/with bribe to judge and priest her in/on/with price to show and prophet her in/on/with silver: money to divine and upon LORD to lean to/for to say not LORD in/on/with entrails: among our not to come (in): come upon us distress: harm
Your leaders judge for a bribe, your priests teach for a price, and your prophets do divination for money. Yet you rely on Yahweh and say, “Is not Yahweh with us? No evil will come on us.”
12 to/for so in/on/with because of you Zion land: country to plow/plot and Jerusalem ruin to be and mountain: mount [the] house: home to/for high place wood
Therefore, because of you, Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.
