2 You who hate good and love evil;Who strip the skin from My people,And the flesh from their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of My people,Flay their skin from them,Break their bones,And chop them in piecesLike meat for the pot,Like flesh in the caldron.”
4 Then they will cry to the Lord,But He will not hear them;He will even hide His face from them at that time,Because they have been evil in their deeds.
5 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophetsWho make my people stray;Who chant “Peace”While they chew with their teeth,But who prepare war against himWho puts nothing into their mouths:
6 “Therefore you shall have night without vision,And you shall have darkness without divination;The sun shall go down on the prophets,And the day shall be dark for them.
7 So the seers shall be ashamed,And the diviners abashed;Indeed they shall all cover their lips;For there is no answer from God.”
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,And of justice and might,To declare to Jacob his transgressionAnd to Israel his sin.
