9 Now hear this, aheads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who babhor justice
And twist everything that is straight,
10 Who abuild Zion with bloodshed
And Jerusalem with violent injustice.
11 Her heads pronounce ajudgment for a bribe,
And her bpriests instruct for a price,
And her prophets divine for money.
Yet they lean on Yahweh saying,
“cIs not Yahweh in our midst?
Evil will not come upon us.”
12 Therefore, on account of you
aZion will be plowed as a field;
bJerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
And the cmountain of the house of God will become high places of a forest.
