and darkness to you, without divination.
(B)The sun shall go down on the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
7 (C)the seers shall be disgraced,
and the diviners put to shame;
(D)they shall all cover their lips,
for (E)there is no answer from God.
8 But as for me, (F)I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob (G)his transgression
and to Israel his sin.
9 (H)Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
(I)who detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
10 (J)who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 (K)Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
(L)its priests teach for a price;
(M)its prophets practice divination for money;
(N)yet they lean on the Lord and (O)say,
“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?
(P)No disaster shall come upon us.”

you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;(J)
10 who build(K) Zion with bloodshed,(L)
and Jerusalem with wickedness.(M)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,(N)
her priests teach for a price,(O)
