WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.140 Chapter 3 And I said, Here I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the 00:07.140 --> 00:13.160 house of Israel, Is it not for you to know judgment, who hate the good, and love the 00:13.160 --> 00:17.500 evil, who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their 00:17.500 --> 00:17.840 bones? 00:18.460 --> 00:22.420 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them? 00:22.800 --> 00:27.840 And they break their bones, and chomp them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh 00:27.840 --> 00:28.620 within the cauldron. 00:29.680 --> 00:33.840 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but He will not hear them. 00:34.440 --> 00:38.920 He will even hide His face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves 00:38.920 --> 00:40.840 ill in their doings. 00:41.000 --> 00:44.520 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, 00:44.980 --> 00:47.460 that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! 00:48.260 --> 00:52.920 And he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. 00:53.920 --> 00:57.640 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision, 00:57.640 --> 01:01.480 and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine. 01:01.820 --> 01:06.580 And the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over 01:06.580 --> 01:06.860 them. 01:07.720 --> 01:11.200 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded. 01:12.160 --> 01:16.660 Yea, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer of God. 01:17.660 --> 01:22.420 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of 01:22.420 --> 01:27.120 might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 01:28.020 --> 01:32.900 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house 01:32.900 --> 01:36.580 of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 01:37.260 --> 01:41.000 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 01:41.620 --> 01:45.700 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, 01:46.180 --> 01:48.360 and the prophets thereof divine for money. 01:48.360 --> 01:53.560 Yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? 01:54.140 --> 01:55.840 None evil can come upon us. 01:56.920 --> 02:01.520 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall 02:01.520 --> 02:05.760 become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
