(B)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
    when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.

    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    (B)For they have brought evil on themselves.

You shall stumble by day;
    the prophet also shall stumble with you by night;
    and I will destroy (A)your mother.
My people are destroyed (B)for lack of knowledge;
    (C)because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you (D)from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
    (E)I also will forget your children.

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

13 The people (A)did not turn to him who struck them,
    nor inquire of the Lord of hosts.
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (B)head and tail,
    palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (C)the elder and honored man is the head,
    and (D)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.
17 Therefore the Lord does not (E)rejoice over their young men,
    and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is (F)godless and an evildoer,
    and every mouth speaks (G)folly.[a]
(H)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.
