But as for me, (A)I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,
    and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob (B)his transgression
    and to Israel his sin.

(C)Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
    and rulers of the house of Israel,
(D)who detest justice
    and make crooked all that is straight,
10 (E)who build Zion with blood
    and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 (F)Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
    (G)its priests teach for a price;
    (H)its prophets practice divination for money;
(I)yet they lean on the Lord and (J)say,
    “Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
    (K)No disaster shall come upon us.”
