7 So the seers shall be ashamed,
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
aFor there is no answer from God.”
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
aFor there is no answer from God.”
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
And of justice and might,
aTo declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
And of justice and might,
aTo declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
9 Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And1 rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And1 rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
11 aHer heads judge for a bribe,
bHer priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for1 money.
cYet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”
