5 My people are deceived by prophets who promise peace to those who pay them, but threaten war for those who don't. To these prophets the Lord says,
6 “Prophets, your day is almost over; the sun is going down on you. Because you mislead my people, you will have no more prophetic visions, and you will not be able to predict anything.”
7 Those who predict the future will be disgraced by their failure. They will all be humiliated because God does not answer them.
8 But as for me, the Lord fills me with his Spirit and power, and gives me a sense of justice and the courage to tell the people of Israel what their sins are.
9 Listen to me, you rulers of Israel, you that hate justice and turn right into wrong.
10 You are building God's city, Jerusalem, on a foundation of murder and injustice.
11 The city's rulers govern for bribes, the priests interpret the Law for pay, the prophets give their revelations for money — and they all claim that the Lord is with them. “No harm will come to us,” they say. “The Lord is with us.”
