7. Those seeing visions will be ashamed,and the diviners disgraced;they will all cover their upper lips,for there will be no answer from God.
8. But me! I am filled with power,with the spirit of the Lord, with justice and might,to declare to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin!
9. Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob,rulers of the house of Israel,you who reject justice and make crooked all that is straight,
10. who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with injustice!
11. Her officials give justice for a bribe,and her priests teach for hire.Her prophets offer divination for silver,yet they rely on the Lord, saying,"Isn’t the Lord in our midst?Evil won’t come upon us!"
12. Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field,Jerusalem will become piles of rubble,and the temple mount will become an overgrown mound.
