Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. I said, "Hear please, rulers of Jacob and princes of the house of Israel: Shouldn't you know justice?"
2. You who hate good and love evil, who tear their skin from them and their flesh from their bones.
3. Who devour my people's flesh, flay their skin from them, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as in the pot, like flesh within the caldron.
4. Then they will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have done evil in their deeds.
5. Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who deceive my people, who bite with their teeth and proclaim "Peace!"—but whoever does not put anything into their mouths, they prepare war against him.
6. Therefore night will come upon you without visions, darkness upon you without divination; the sun will set over the prophets, and the day will blacken above them.
7. The seers will be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; they will all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.
8. But as for me, I am filled with power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
9. Listen now to this, heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who detest justice and distort all that is right.
10. They build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with injustice.
11. Her leaders judge for bribes, her priests teach for a price, her prophets divine for silver, yet they rely on Yahweh, saying, "Isn't Yahweh among us? No evil will come upon us."
12. Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house like high places of a forest.
