6 “Therefore a night is unto you? without a vision, and it will grow dark for you? without divination, and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.

7 And the seers will be ashamed, and the diviners will be disgraced, and they will cover over their mustache—all of them—for there is no answer from God!”

8 However I am filled with power by the Spirit of YHWH, and justice and strength to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

9 Hear this now, O heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, those abhorring justice, and all that is upright, they pervert,

10 those building up Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with injustice.

11 Her heads give judgment for a bribe, and her priests give instruction for a price, and her prophets practice divination for silver. And on YHWH they lean, and say, “Is not YHWH among us? No harm can come upon us.”

12 Therefore, because of you?, Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house, like the heights of the forest.
