Poverty, spiritual » Destitution of the truth
and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.
For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without instruction,
At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine through the land:
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
ט TetZion’s gates have fallen to the ground;
He has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.
Her king and her leaders live among the nations,
instruction is no more,
and even her prophets receive
no vision from the Lord.
He has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.

There is no longer a prophet.
And none of us knows how long this will last.
and there will be rumor after rumor.
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet,
but instruction will perish from the priests
and counsel from the elders.
