1 I amar (said), “Please shamai (hearken / hear), you raashay (heads) of Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), and qatzayanay (rulers) of the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel): Isn't it for you to yadai (know) mashapat (justice)?
2 You who shanaa (hate) the tawab (good / proper function), and ahab (love) the rai (evil); who gazal (tear) off their iwar (skin), and their shaar (flesh) from off their itzam (bones);
3 Who also akal (eat) the shaar (flesh) of my im (nation / people), and pashat (flay) their iwar (skin) from off them, and patzach (break) their itzam (bones), and parash (chop) them in pieces, as for the sayar (pot), and as bashar (flesh) thawak (midst) the qalachath (caldron).
4 Then they will zaiq (cry) to Yahawah (), but he will not inah (answer / respond) them. Yes, he will sathar (hide) his panayam (face) from them at that ith (time), because they made their deeds raii (wicked / dysfunctional / evil).”
5 Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah () concerning the nabayaayam (prophets) who lead my im (nation / people) thaih (astray); for those who feed their shan (teeth), they qaraa (called), “shalawam (peace / safety)!” And whoever doesn't provide for their pah (mouths), they qadash (set apart / make holy) malachamah (war) against him:
6 “Therefore layal (night) is over you, with no chazawan (vision), and it is chashak (darkness) to you, that you may not qasam (divine); and the shamash (sun) will bawaa (bring) down on the nabayaayam (prophets), and the yawam (day) will be qadar (black) over them.
7 The chazayam (seers) shall be disappointed, and the diviners chapar (confounded). Yes, they shall all itah (cover) their shapam (lips); for there is no mainah (answer) from Alahayam ().”
8 But as for me, I am malaa (full) of kach (strength / mighty / power) by the rawach (spirit / wind) of Yahawah (), and of mashapat (judgment), and of gabawarah (might), to nagad (declare) to Yaiqab (Jacob) his disobedience, and to Yashar-Al (Israel) his chataah (sin).
9 Please shamai (hearken / hear) to this, you raashay (heads) of the bayath (house) of Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), and qatzayanay (rulers) of the bayath (house) of Yashar-Al (Israel), who thaib (abhor) mashapat (justice), and iqash (pervert) all yashar (upright).
10 They banah (build) up Tzayawan (Zion) with dam (blood), and Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) with iwal (iniquity).
11 Her leaders shapat (judge / judgement) for shachad (bribes), and her kahan (priest) yarah (teach) for a machayar (price), and her nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) of it tell fortunes for kasap (money): yet they shain (lean) on Yahawah (), and amar (spoke), “Isn't Yahawah () in the qarab (among / near) of us? No disaster will bawaa (come) on us.”
12 Therefore Tzayawan (Zion) for your sake will be charash (plowed) like a shadah (field), and Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) will become iyayan (heaps) of rubble, and the har (mountain) of the bayath (house) like the bamah (high) places of a yair (forest).
