Chap. III.
note
For the sinnes of the rich opressing the poore, 5. of falfe prophets flatering for
lucre, 9. and of Iudges peruerting iustice, 12. Ierusalem, and the temple
shal be destroyed.
1 And I sayd: Heare ye princes note of Iacob, & ye dukes of
the house of Israel: Why, is it not your part to know
-- --
iudgement,
2 which hate good, and loue euil: which violently
take away their skinnes from them, and their flesh from their
bones?
3 Which haue eaten the flesh of my people, and haue
slead their skinne from them: and haue broken, and cut their
bones as in a kettle & as it were flesh in the middes of a potte.
shal they crie to our Lord, and he wil not heare them: and he
wil hide his face from them at that time, as they haue done
wickedly in their inuentions.
5 Thus sayth our Lord vpon
note the prophets, that seduce my people: that bite with their
teeth, nnd preach peace: and if a man geue not something in
their mouth, they sanctifie battel vpon him.
6 Therfore there
shal be nigt to you for vision, and darkenes to you for diuination:
and the sunne shal goe downe vpon the prophets, & the
day shal be darkened ouer them.
7 And they shal be confounded
that see visions, and the diuiners shal be confounded: and
al shal couer their faces, because there is no answer of God.
8 But yet I am replenished with the strenght of the spirit of our
Lord, with iudgement, and power: to declare vnto Iacob his
wickednes, and to Israel his sinne.
9 Heare this ye princes
of the house of Iacob, and ye note iudges of the house of Israel:
which abhorre iudgement, & peruert al right thinges.
10 Which
build Sion in bloud, and Ierusalem in iniquitie.
11 Her princes
iudged for gifts, and her priests taught for wages, and her prophets
diuined for money: & they rested vpon our Lord, saying:
Why, is not our Lord in the middes of vs? euils shal not come
vpon vs.
12 noteFor this, because of you, Sion shal be ploughed
as a filde, and Ierusalem shal be as an heape of stones, and the
mount of the temple as the high places of forests.
