Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him war.

And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.

Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth.

See do nations, and they are ashamed of all their might, They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf.
