“1 ¶ And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of
the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know judgment? 2 Who hate
the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and
their flesh from off their bones; 3 Who also eat the flesh of my people,
and flay 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. 4 Then
shall they cry unto the LORD, 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. 5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that
make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he
that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. 6
Therefore night [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;
and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun
shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. 7
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they
shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God.”
