- and the prophet:
- "The daysª of visitationª are come,ª° the daysª of recompenceª are come;ª° Israelª shall knowª° [it]: the prophetª [is] a fool,ª the spiritualª manª [is] mad,ª° for¹ the multitudeª of thine iniquity,ª and the greatª hatred.ª ... The watchmanª° of Ephraimª [was] with¹ my God:ª [but] the prophetª [is] a snareª of a fowlerª in¹ all¹ his ways,ª [and] hatredª in the houseª of his God.ª" {Hsa 9:7-8} + "For the peopleª turnethª° not¹ unto¹ him that smitethª° them, neither¹ do they seekª° the LORDª of hosts.ª ... Therefore¹¹ the Lordª shall have no¹ joyª° in¹ their young men,ª neither¹ shall have mercyª° on their fatherlessª and widows:ª for¹ every one¹ [is] an hypocriteª and an evildoer,ª° and every¹ mouthª speakethª° folly.ª For all¹ this¹ his angerª is not¹ turned away,ª° but his handª [is] stretched out¹ still.²°¹" {Isa 9:13-17} + "Prepareª° ye warª against¹ her; arise,ª° and let us go upª° at noon.ª Woeª unto us! for¹ the dayª goeth away,ª° for¹ the shadowsª of the eveningª are stretched out.ª° ... Arise,ª° and let us goª° by night,ª and let us destroyª° her palaces.ª" {Jer 6:4-5} + "And their housesª shall be turnedª° unto others,ª [with their] fieldsª and wivesª together:ª for¹ I will stretch outª°¹ my handª upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of the land,ª saithª° the LORD.ª ... Were they ashamed²°¹ when¹ they had committedª° abomination?ª nay,ª they were not¹ at all²° ashamed,ª° neither²¹ couldª° they blush:ª° therefore¹ they shall fallª° among them that fall:ª° at the timeª [that] I visitª° them they shall be cast down,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 6:12-15} + "Therefore¹ will I giveª°¹ their wivesª unto others,ª [and] their fieldsª to them that shall inheritª° [them]: for¹ every one¹ from the leastª¹ even unto¹ the greatestª is given²° to covetousness,ª¹ from the prophetª¹ even unto¹ the priestª every one¹ dealethª° falsely.ª ... Were they ashamed²°¹ when¹ they had committedª° abomination?ª nay,¹ they were not¹ at all²° ashamed,ª° neither¹ couldª° they blush:ª° therefore¹ shall they fallª° among them that fall:ª° in the timeª of their visitationª they shall be cast down,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 8:10-12} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the prophetsª that prophesyª° in my name,ª and I¹ sentª° them not,¹ yet they¹ say,ª° Swordª and famineª shall not¹ be¹ in this¹ land;ª By swordª and famineª shall those¹ prophetsª be consumed.ª° ... And the peopleª to whom¹ they¹ prophesyª° shall be¹ cast outª° in the streetsª of Jerusalemª becauseª¹ of the famineª and the sword;ª and they shall have none¹ to buryª° them,ª them,¹ their wives,ª nor their sons,ª nor their daughters:ª for I will pourª°¹ their wickednessª upon¹ them." {Jer 14:15-16} + "Their widowsª are increasedª° to me above the sandª¹ of the seas:ª I have broughtª° upon them against¹ the motherª of the young menª a spoilerª° at noonday:ª I have caused [him] to fallª° upon¹ it suddenly,ª and terrorsª upon the city.ª" {Jer 15:8} + "Mine heartª withinª me is brokenª° because of the prophets;ª all¹ my bonesª shake;ª° I am¹ like a drunkenª man,ª and like a manª whom wineª hath overcome,ª° becauseª¹ of the LORD,ª and because¹¹ of the wordsª of his holiness.ª" {Jer 23:9} + "And mine handª shall be¹ upon¹ the prophetsª that see²¹ vanity,ª and that divineª° lies:ª they shall not¹ be¹ in the assemblyª of my people,ª neither¹ shall they be writtenª° in the writingª of the houseª of Israel,ª neither¹ shall they enterª° into¹ the landª of Israel;ª and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the Lordª GOD.ª ... [To wit], the prophetsª of Israelª which prophesyª° concerning¹ Jerusalem,ª and which see²¹ visionsª of peaceª for her, and [there is] no¹ peace,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 13:9-16} + "And I will setª° my faceª against that¹ man,ª and will make²°¹ him a signª and a proverb,ª and I will cut him offª° from the midstª¹ of my people;ª and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª ... And they shall bearª° the punishment of their iniquity:ª the punishmentª of the prophetª shall be¹ even as the punishmentª of him that seekethª° [unto him];" {Ezk 14:8-10} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the prophetsª that make¹ my peopleª err,ª° that biteª° with their teeth,ª and cry,ª° Peace;ª and he that¹ puttethª° not¹ into¹ their mouths,ª they even prepareª° warª against¹ him. ... Then shall the seersª be ashamed,ª° and the divinersª° confounded:ª° yea, they shall all¹ coverª°¹ their lips;ª for¹ [there is] no¹ answerª of God.ª" {Mic 3:5-7} + "¹ Threeª shepherdsª° also I cut offª° in oneª month;ª and my soulª lothedª° them, and their soulª also¹ abhorredª° me." {Zch 11:8} + "And it shall come to pass¹ in that¹ day,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª [that] I will cut offª°¹ the namesª of the idolsª out of¹ the land,ª and they shall no¹ more¹ be remembered:ª° and also¹ I will cause¹ the prophetsª and the uncleanª spiritª to passª° out of¹ the land.ª" {Zch 13:2}
