Context Reading
7The seers shall be disappointed,and the diviners confounded.Yes, they shall all cover their lips,for there is no answer from God.” 8But as for me, I am full of power by Yahweh’s Spirit,and of judgment, and of might,to declare to Jacob his disobedience,and to Israel his sin. 9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob,and rulers of the house of Israel,who abhor justice,and pervert all equity, 10who build up Zion with blood,and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11Her leaders judge for bribes,and her priests teach for a price,and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money;yet they lean on Yahweh, and say,“Isn’t Yahweh among us?No disaster will come on us.”
