10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a (A)fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? [a]Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.

2 The (A)faithful[a] man has perished from the earth,
And there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
(B)Every man hunts his brother with a net.
3 That they may successfully do evil with both hands—
The prince asks for gifts,
The judge seeks a (C)bribe,
And the great man utters his evil desire;
So they scheme together.

Who abhor justice
And [a]pervert all equity,
10 (A)Who build up Zion with (B)bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:
11 (C)Her heads judge for a bribe,
(D)Her priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for [b]money.
(E)Yet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be (F)plowed like a field,
(G)Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And (H)the mountain of the [c]temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.

3 And I said:

And you (A)rulers of the house of Israel:
(B)Is it not for you to know justice?
2 You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
3 Who also (C)eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
(D)Like flesh in the caldron.”

You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.

For this is not your (A)rest;
Because it is (B)defiled, it shall destroy,
Yes, with utter destruction.

You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; (C)therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries. 5 Those near and those far from you will mock you as [a]infamous and full of tumult.
6 “Look, (D)the princes of Israel: each one has used his [b]power to shed blood in you. 7 In you they have (E)made light of father and mother; in your midst they have (F)oppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the [c]fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised My holy things and (G)profaned My Sabbaths. 9 In you are (H)men who slander to cause bloodshed; (I)in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness. 10 In you men (J)uncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are (K)set apart during their impurity. 11 One commits abomination (L)with his neighbor’s wife; (M)another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you violates his sister, his father’s (N)daughter. 12 In you (O)they take bribes to shed blood; (P)you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and (Q)have forgotten Me,” says the Lord God.
