9 Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
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.

Wicked Rulers and Prophets
3 And I said:

Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;

Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
(D)Like flesh in the caldron.”
