- the sins:
- "Thy prophetsª have seenª° vainª and foolish thingsª for thee: and they have not¹ discoveredª°¹ thine iniquity,ª to turn awayª° thy captivity;ª° but have seenª° for thee falseª burdensª and causes of banishment.ª" {Lam 2:14} + "The prophetsª prophesyª° falsely,ª and the priestsª bear ruleª° by¹ their means;ª and my peopleª loveª° [to have it] so:¹ and what¹ will ye doª° in the endª thereof?" {Jer 5:31} + "For¹ from the leastª¹ of them even unto¹ the greatestª of them every one¹ [is] given²° to¹ covetousness;ª and from the prophetª¹ even unto¹ the priestª every one¹ dealethª° falsely.ª" {Jer 6:13} + "Then the LORDª saidª° unto¹ me, The prophetsª prophesyª° liesª in my name:ª I sentª° them not,¹ neither¹ have I commandedª° them, neither¹ spakeª° unto¹ them: they¹ prophesyª° unto you a falseª visionª and divination,ª and a thing of nought,ª²° and the deceitª of their heart.ª" {Jer 14:14} + "For¹ both¹ prophetª and¹ priestª are profane;ª° yea,¹ in my houseª have I foundª° their wickedness,ª saithª° the LORD.ª ... I have not¹ sentª°¹ these prophets,ª yet they¹ ran:ª° I have not¹ spokenª° to¹ them, yet they¹ prophesied.ª°" {Jer 23:11-21} + "Her priestsª have violatedª° my law,ª and have profanedª° mine holy things:ª they have put no differenceª°¹ between¹ the holyª and profane,ª neither¹ have they shewedª° [difference] between¹ the uncleanª and the clean,ª and have hidª° their eyesª from my sabbaths,ª¹ and I am profanedª° amongª them. ... And her prophetsª have daubedª° them with untemperedª [morter], seeingª vanity,ª and diviningª° liesª unto them, saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª when the LORDª hath not¹ spoken.ª°" {Ezk 22:26-28} + "The headsª thereof judgeª° for reward,ª and the priestsª thereof teachª° for hire,ª and the prophetsª thereof divineª° for money:ª yet will they leanª° upon¹ the LORD,ª and say,ª° [Is] not¹ the LORDª amongª us? none¹ evilª can comeª° upon¹ us. ... Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:11-12} + "Her princesª withinª her [are] roaringª° lions;ª her judgesª° [are] eveningª wolves;ª they gnaw not the bonesª°¹ till the morrow.ª ... Her prophetsª [are] lightª° [and] treacherousª persons:²¹ her priestsª have pollutedª° the sanctuary,ª they have done violenceª° to the law.ª" {Zph 3:3-4}
