Und ich sprach: Höret doch, ihr Häupter im Hause Jakob und ihr Fürsten im Hause Israel! Ihr solltet’s billig sein, die das Recht wüßten.
Aber ihr hasset das Gute und liebet das Arge; ihr schindet ihnen die Haut ab und das Fleisch von ihren Gebeinen
who eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.

So spricht der HERR wider die Propheten, so mein Volk verführen: Sie predigen, es solle wohl gehen, wo man ihnen zu fressen gibt; wo man ihnen aber nichts ins Maul gibt, da predigen sie, es müsse Krieg kommen.
Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without divination.
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
and darkness to you, without divination.

Darum soll euer Gesicht zur Nacht und euer Wahrsagen zur Finsternis werden. Die Sonne soll über den Propheten untergehen und der Tag über ihnen finster werden.
the seers shall be disgraced,
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.

with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.

who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
die ihr Zion mit Blut bauet und Jerusalem mit Unrecht:
Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
its priests teach for a price;
its prophets practice divination for money;
yet they lean on the Lord and say,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
No disaster shall come upon us.”

Therefore because of you
Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the house a wooded height.
