18  ^eIf I go out into the field,

behold, those pierced by the sword!

^eAnd if I enter the city,

behold, the diseases of famine!

^fFor both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land

and have no knowledge.’”

11  ^o“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;

even ^pin my house I have found their evil,

declares the Lord.

11  ^eIts heads give judgment for a bribe;

^fits priests teach for a price;

^gits prophets practice divination for money;

^hyet they lean on the Lord and ⁱsay,

“Is not the Lord in the midst of us?

^jNo disaster shall come upon us.”

31  ^xthe prophets prophesy falsely,

and the priests rule at their direction;

^ymy people love to have it so,

but what will you do when the end comes?
