¶ The .iii. Chapter.
¶ Agaynst the tyranny of Prynces, and false
Prophetes.
-- --
A And I sayde: heare, O ye heades of
the house of Iacob, ∧ ye leders of þe;
house of Israell: note Shulde not ye
knowe, what were lawfull and
ryght? noteBut ye hate the good, and loue the
euel: ye plucke of mennes skynnes, and the
flesh from theyr bones: ye eate the flesh of
my people, and flay of theyr skynne: ye breake
theyr bones, ye choppe them in peces as
it were in to a cauldron, ∧ as flesh &ibar;to a pot
Now the tyme shall come, note that wh&ebar; they
call vnto the Lorde, he shall not heare th&ebar;,
but hyde hys face from them,
B because that
thorow theyr awne Imagynacyons they
haue dealte so wyckedly.
And as concernynge the prophetes that
dysceaue my people, thus the Lorde sayeth
agaynst them. noteWhen they haue eny thynge
to byte vpon, then they preach that all
shalbe well: but yf a man put not some th&ibar;g
in to theyr mouthes, they preach of warre
agaynst hym.
noteTherfore youre visyon shalbe turned to
nyght, ∧ youre prophecienge to darcknesse.
C The Sunne shall go downe ouer those prophetes,
∧ the daye shalbe darcke vnto th&ebar;.
Then shall the visyon seers be ashamed, &abar;d
the sothsayers confounded: yee, they shalbe
fayne, all the packe of them, to stoppe theyr
mouthes, for they haue not Gods worde. note
As for me, I am full of str&ebar;gth, ∧ of þe; sprete
of the Lorde, full of iudgement ∧ boldnesse:
to shewe the house of Iacob theyr wyckednes,
and the house of Israel theyr synne.
D O heare this ye rulers of the house of Iacob,
∧ ye iudges of þe; house of Israel, ye that
abhorre the thynge that is laufull, ∧ wrest
asyde þe; thyng þt; is streyght. noteYe that buylde
vp Syon with bloude, and Ierusalem &wt;
doynge wronge. noteO ye iudges, ye geue sent&ebar;ce
for gyftes: O ye preastes, ye teach for
lucre. noteO ye prophetes, ye prophecy for mony.
Yet will they be taken as those þt; holde
vp&obar; God, and saye: Is not the Lord am&obar;ge
vs? Tush, there can no mysfortune happen
vs. noteTherfore shall Si&obar; (for youre sakes)
be plowed lyke a felde note Ierusalem shall become
an heape of stones, and the hyll of the
temple shall be turned to an hye wodde.
