6Therefore it will be night for you—without vision,
         And darkness for you—without divination.
         The sun will go down on the prophets,
         And the day will become dark over them.

7The seers will be ashamed
         And the diviners will be embarrassed.
         Indeed, they will all cover their mouths
         Because there is no answer from God.

8On the other hand I am filled with power—
         With the Spirit of the LORD—
         And with justice and courage
         To make known to Jacob his rebellious act,
         Even to Israel his sin.

9Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob
         And rulers of the house of Israel,
         Who abhor justice
         And twist everything that is straight,

10Who build Zion with bloodshed
         And Jerusalem with violent injustice.

11Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe,
         Her priests instruct for a price
         And her prophets divine for money.
         Yet they lean on the LORD saying,
         “Is not the LORD in our midst?
         Calamity will not come upon us.”

12Therefore, on account of you
         Zion will be plowed as a field,
         Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
         And the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest.
