1And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and you^2f princes of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; [Is it] not for you to know judgment?

2Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

3Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay (stip the skin off) their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

4Then shall they cry unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

5Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that puts not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.

6Therefore night [shall be] unto you, that you^2f shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that you^2f shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

7Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yes, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

8But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Ya’akov [Heal of God] his transgression, and to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] his sin.

9Hear this, I pray you, you^2f heads of the house of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and princes of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.

10They build up Tziyon [parched place] with blood, and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with iniquity.

11The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and say, [Is] not the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) among us? none evil can come upon us.

12Therefore shall Tziyon [parched place] for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
