  3:1 ¶
And he shall say, Hear now these words, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment? |
|
3:1 ¶
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?° |
|
3:2
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones: |
|
3:2
Who hate°°
the good,°
and love°°
the evil;°
who pluck off°°
their skin°
from off°°
them, and their flesh°
from off°°
their bones;° |
|
3:3
even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot, |
|
3:3
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.° |
|
3:4
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not hearken to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves. |
|
3:4
Then°
shall they cry°°
unto°
Yahweh,°
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.° |
|
3:5 ¶
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them: |
|
3:5 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
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. |
|
3:6
therefore there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them. |
|
3:6
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. |
|
3:7
And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to hearken to them. |
|
3:7
Then shall the seers°
be ashamed,°°
and the diviners°°
confounded:°°
yea, they shall all°
cover°°°
their lips;°
for°
[there is] no°
answer°
of Elohim.° |
|
3:8 ¶
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins. |
|
3:8 ¶
But truly°
I°
am full°°
of power°
by°
the spirit°
of Yahweh,°
and of judgment,°
and of might,°
to declare°°
unto Jacob°
his transgression,°
and to Israel°
his sin.° |
|
3:9
Hear now these words, ye chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness; |
|
3:9
Hear°°
this,°
I pray you,°
ye heads°
of the house°
of Jacob,°
and princes°
of the house°
of Israel,°
that abhor°°
judgment,°
and pervert°°
all°
equity.° |
|
3:10
who build up Zion{gr.Sion} with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. |
|
3:10
They build up°°
Zion°
with blood,°
and Jerusalem°
with iniquity.° |
|
3:11
The heads thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among us? no evil shall come upon us. |
|
3:11
The heads°
thereof judge°°
for reward,°
and the priests°
thereof teach°°
for hire,°
and the prophets°
thereof divine°°
for money:°
yet will they lean°°
upon°
Yahweh,°
and say,°°
[Is] not°
Yahweh°
among°
us? none°
evil°
can come°°
upon°
us. |
|
3:12
Therefore on your account Zion{gr.Sion} shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest. |
|
3:12
Therefore°
shall Zion°
for your sake°
be plowed°°
[as] a field,°
and Jerusalem°
shall become°
heaps,°
and the mountain°
of the house°
as the high places°
of the forest.° |
