When they have something to bite with their teeth,
They ^(B)cry out, “Peace!”
But against him who puts nothing in their mouths
They declare holy war.

¹¹ Her leaders pronounce ^(A)judgment for a bribe,
Her ^(B)priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,
“^(C)Is the Lord not in our midst?
Catastrophe will not come upon us.”
