and the flesh off their bones,
3 in a kettle,
like flesh in a caldron.
4 Ps 18.41; Prov 1.28; Isa 1.15; 59.2; Mic 7.13; Zech 7.13 Then they will cry to the Lord,
but he will not answer them;
he will hide his face from them at that time
because they have acted wickedly.
5 Isa 56.10; Jer 6.14; 14.14, 15; Ezek 13.10, 18, 19; Mic 2.11 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat
but declare war against those
who put nothing into their mouths.
6 Isa 8.20, 22; Ezek 13.23; Am 8.9 Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without revelation.
The sun shall go down upon the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
7 v 4 ; 1 Sam 28.6; Isa 44.25; Mic 7.16; Zech 13.4the seers shall be disgraced
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.
8 Isa 58.1; 61.1, 2 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.
9 v 1 ; Isa 1.23Hear this, you rulers of the house of Jacob
and chiefs of the house of Israel,
who abhor justice
and pervert all equity,
10 Jer 22.13; Ezek 22.27; Hab 2.12 who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with wrong!
11 Isa 1.23; 48.2; Jer 6.13; 7.4; Hos 4.18 Its rulers give judgment for a bribe;
its priests teach for a price;
its prophets give oracles for money;
yet they lean upon the Lord and say,
“Surely the Lord is with us!
No harm shall come upon us.”
12 Jer 26.18; Mic 4.1, 2 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the temple a wooded height.
