2You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.
“You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin from them and their flesh from their bones,”
3You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron."
“Who also eat the flesh of my people and flay their skin from off them. And they break their bones and chop them in pieces as for the pot and the flesh within the cauldron.”
“eat the flesh of my people you strip off their skins from them. You break their bones and chop them up as for the pot and meat in a kettle.”
4Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.
“Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them. He will even hide his face from them at that time as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.”
“Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them. He will even hide his face from them at that time as they have behaved themselves ill in all of their doings.”
“Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them. He will even hide his face from them at that time as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.”
“Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them. He will even hide his face from them at that time as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.”
5This is what the LORD says: "As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:
“thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err. That bite with their teeth and cry peace. And he that put it not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.”
“say? Prophets. The Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray. Look at this. When they have something to bite with their teeth, they cry peace. But against him who puts nothing in their mouth, they declare a holy war.”
6Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
“therefore it will be night for you without vision and darkness for you without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets and the day will become dark over them.”
“it will be night for you without vision. It will be darkness for you without divination. The sun will go down on your prophets and the day will become dark over them”
7Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God."

8As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
“but truly, I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord and of judgment and of might to declare unto Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.”
“But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.”
“But truly the Lord said I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord. And of judgment and of might to declare unto Jacob his transgression to Israel his sin.”
9Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,
“Hear this, I pray you, you heads of the house of Jacob. And the princes of the house of Israel that abhor judgment and pervert all equity.”
10who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
“They build up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.”
“Who builds Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with violent injustice.”
11Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, "Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us."

12Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.
“Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field. And Jerusalem shall become a heap. And the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.”
“therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.”
