For (A)the household gods (B)utter nonsense,
    and the diviners see lies;
(C)they tell false dreams
    and give empty consolation.
Therefore (D)the people wander like sheep;
    they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.

Therefore (A)it shall be night to you, without vision,
    and darkness to you, without divination.
(B)The sun shall go down on the prophets,
    and the day shall be black over them;
(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.
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.

    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.”
