Rotherham(i)
9 As for the prophets,––Broken, is my heart within me, Trembled, have all my bones, I have become as a drunken man, And as a strong man whom wine hath overcome,––Because of Yahweh, And because of his holy, words.
10 For, with adulterers, is the land filled, Yea, because of cursing, doth the land mourn, Dried up are the oases of the desert,––And, their oppression, hath become wicked, And, their might, is not right.
11 For, both prophet and priest, are profane,––Even in my house, have I found their wickedness, Declareth Yahweh.
12 Therefore, shall their way become to them like slippery places in darkness, They shall be driven on, and shall fall therein,––For I will bring in upon them calamity––The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.
13 Even among the prophets of Samaria, had I seen a foolish thing,––They prophesied by Baal, And led astray my people Israel.
14 But, among the prophets of Jerusalem, have I seen a horrible thing,––Committing adultery, And walking in falsehood, And so strengthening the hands of doers of wickedness, not to return any man from his wickedness: They have, all of them, become, to me, as Sodom, And her inhabitants, as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Concerning the prophets,––Behold me! Feeding them with wormwood, And I will cause them to drink poisoned water,––For, from the prophets of Jerusalem, hath there gone forth profanity unto all the land.
16 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts,––Do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are prophesying unto you, They, are filling you, with vain, hopes,––The vision of their own hearts, do they speak, Not from the mouth of Yahweh!
17 They keep on saying to them who despise me, Yahweh, hath spoken, [saying], Prosperity, shall ye have! And, to every one who is going on in the stubbornness of his own heart, have they said, There shall come on you, no calamity;
