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.
