    I will punish them for their ways
    and repay them for their deeds.

26 (A)Her priests (B)have done violence to my law and (C)have profaned my holy things. (D)They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and (E)they have disregarded my Sabbaths, (F)so that I am profaned among them. 27 (G)Her princes in her midst are like wolves (H)tearing the prey, (I)shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain. 28 And (J)her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, (K)seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken. 29 The people of the land (L)have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and (M)have extorted from the sojourner without justice. 30 (N)And I sought for a man among them (O)who should build up the wall (P)and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. 31 Therefore (Q)I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned (R)their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”

11 (A)“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
    even (B)in my house I have found their evil,
declares the Lord.
12 (C)Therefore their way shall be to them
    like slippery paths (D)in the darkness,
    into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
    (E)in the year of their punishment,
declares the Lord.

10 (A)Therefore I will give their wives to others
    and their fields to conquerors,
because from the least to the greatest
    everyone (B)is greedy for unjust gain;
from prophet to priest,
    everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed (C)the wound of my people lightly,
    saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
    when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
    No, (D)they were not at all ashamed;
    they did not know how to blush.
(E)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
    when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.

14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (A)head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (B)the elder and honored man is the head,
    and (C)the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
    and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.

    like oil into his bones!
