27 Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit; upon thus they have become great and grown rich, 28 they have grown fat; they are sleek. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not judge justly the cause of the fatherless, and they prosper, and the justice of the needy ones they have not vindicated. 29 Shall I not punish for these things?” A declaration of YHWH, “Should not My soul avenge itself against a nation such as this? 30 An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy with deception, and the priests rule by their own hands; and My people love it so, and what will you⁺ do in the end?
