The III. Chapter.
A noteHeare, o ye heades of the house of Iacob,
and ye leders of the house of Israel:
Shulde not ye knowe, what were
laufull and right? But ye hate the good,
and loue the euell: ye plucke of mens skynnes,
and the flesh from their bones: Ye eate
the flesh of my people, &abar;d flay of their skynne:
ye breake their bones, ye choppe them in
peces as it were in to a cauldron, &abar;d as flesh
into a pot. noteNow the tyme shall come, that
when they call vnto the LORDE, he shall not
heare them, but hyde his face from them: because
that thorow their owne ymaginaci&obar;s,
they haue dealte so wickedly.
B And as concernynge the prophetes that
disceaue my people, thus the LORDE sayeth
agaynst them: note When they haue eny thinge
to byte vpon, then they preach that all shalbe
well: but yf a man put not some thinge in
to their mouthes, they preach of warre agaynst
him.
noteTherfore youre vision shalbe turned to
night, ∧ youre prophecyenge to darcknesse.
The Sonne shall go downe ouer those prophetes,
∧ the daye shalbe darcke vnto them.
Then shall the vision seers be ashamed, ∧ þe;
saythsayers confounded: yee they shalbe fayne
(all the packe of th&ebar;) to stoppe their mouthes,
for they haue not Gods worde. noteAs for
me, I am full of strength, ∧ of þe; sprete of þe;
LORDE, full of iudgment ∧ boldnesse: to shewe
the house of Iacob their wickednesse, ∧
the house of Israel their synne.
-- --
C O heare this ye rulers of the house of Iacob,
and ye iudges of the house off Israel: ye
that abhorre the thinge that is laufull, and
wraist asyde the thinge that is straight: note Ye
that buylde vp Sion with bloude, and Ierusalem
with doynge wronge. O ye iudges, ye
geue sentence for giftes: O ye preastes, ye
teach for lucre: O ye prophetes, ye prophecy
for money. Yet wil they be tak&ebar; as those that
holde vpon God, and saye: Is not the LORDE
amonge vs? Tush, there can no misfortune
happen vs. noteTherfore shal Sion (for youre
sakes) be plowed like a felde: Ierusal&ebar; shall
become an heape of stones, and the hill of þe;
temple shal be turned to an hye wodde.
