To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, - So shall they become my people, And l will become their God.

So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies - In the council of my people, shall they not be found.

Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, - and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash

and say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, - the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls:, ye keep alive.

Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, - By your lying to my people I who hearken to lies

And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted;- So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

Therefore - of falsehood:, shall ye have no vision, And a divination:, shall ye not divine any more, - So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.

That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But the, words themselves, they not do, - though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
