And of justice and might,
aTo declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
You heads of the house of Jacob
And1 rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And pervert all equity,
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.”
Zion shall be aplowed like a field,
bJerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And cthe mountain of the temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.
