6 In his days Judah shall be saved,Israel shall dwell in security.This is the name to be given him:“The Lord our justice.”
7 Therefore, the days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when they shall no longer say, “As the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt”;
8 but rather, “As the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of the house of Israel up from the land of the north”—and from all the lands to which I banished them; they shall again live on their own soil.
9 Concerning the prophets:My heart is broken within me,all my bones tremble;I am like a drunk,like one overcome by wine,Because of the Lord,because of his holy words.
10 The land is filled with adulterers;because of the curse the land mourns,the pastures of the wilderness are withered.Theirs is an evil course,theirs is unjust power.
11 Both prophet and priest are godless!In my very house I find their wickedness—oracle of the Lord.
12 Hence their way shall become for themslippery ground.Into the darkness they shall be driven,and fall headlong;For I will bring disaster upon them,the year of their punishment—oracle of the Lord.
