1 And saying, Hear now, ye heads of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment?

2 Hating the good and loving the evil; plucking off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones.

3 And who ate the flesh of my people, and they stripped off their skin from off them; and they brake their bones in pieces, and separated as for the pot, and as flesh in the midst of the kettle.

4 Then shall they cry to Jehovah and he will not answer them, and he will hide his face from them in that time, as their doings were evil.

5 Thus said Jehovah for the prophets causing my people to wander, and biting with their teeth, and they called, Peace; and who will not give upon their mouth and they consecrated war against him:

6 For this, night to you from a vision, and darkness to you from divining; and the sun went down upon the prophets, and the day was dark upon them.

7 And they seeing were ashamed, and they divining were disgraced, and they covered over their lip, all of them; for no answer of God.
