This is that walketh uprightly? Even of late my people is not your risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the Rest garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war. The women of my people have ye 5 cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. If a man walking in the spirit and 10 falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people. I will surely assemble, O Jacob, All of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; As the sheep of Bozrah, As the flock in the midst of their fold: By reason of the multitude of men. The breaker is come up before them: They have broken up, And have passed through the gate, And their king shall pass before them, And the LORD on the head of them. * And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for I am you to know judgment? who hate the good, and love full of the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, Power and their flesh from off their bones; who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them ; s and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 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. 10. Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him: Therefore night shall be unto you, down over the prophets, 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. 15 20 25, Rulers, Priests & Prophets denounced 5 10 15 20 Hear this, I pray you, Ye heads of the house of Jacob, And pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood, The heads thereof judge for reward, And Jerusalem shall become heaps, ? * But in the last days it shall come to pass, That the mountain of the house of the LORD Shall be established In the top of the mountains, And it shall be exalted above the hills; And people shall flow unto it.

And rebuke strong nations afar off; And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, And none shall make them afraid : For the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
