And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for bthem.
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
aFor there is no answer from God.”
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.
