Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:...
For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and increasingly rich.
They are are increasingly fat and sleek: yea, they overlook the deeds of the wicked: they consider not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not consider.
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this
A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so.
