You priests are like a gang
    of robbers in ambush.[a]
On the road to Shechem[b]
you murder and commit
    other horrible crimes.
10 I have seen a terrible thing
    in Israel—
you are unfaithful
    and unfit to worship me.
11 People of Judah,
    your time is coming too.

The Lord Wants To Help Israel

I, the Lord, would like to make
my nation prosper again
