3:1 ¶ And I said, 559 z8799 Heare, 8085 z8798 I pray you, x4994 O heads 7218 of Iacob, 3290 and ye princes 7101 of the house 1004 of Israel: 3478 [is it] not x3808 for you to know 3045 z8800 x853 iudgement? 4941

3:2 Who hate 8130 z8802 the good 2896 and loue 157 z8802 the euill, 7451 who plucke off 1497 z8802 their skinne 5785 from off x4480 x5921 them, and their flesh 7607 from off x4480 x5921 their bones. 6106

3:3 Who x834 also eate 398 z8804 the flesh 7607 of my people, 5971 and flay 6584 z8689 their skinne 5785 from off x4480 x5921 them, and they breake 6476 z8765 their bones, 6106 and chop them in pieces, 6566 z8804 as x834 for the pot, 5518 and as flesh 1320 within 8432 the cauldron. 7037

3:4 Then x227 shall they cry 2199 z8799 vnto x413 the LORD, 3068 but he will not x3808 heare 6030 z8799 them: he will euen hide 5641 z8686 his face 6440 from x4480 them at that x1931 time, 6256 as x834 they haue behaued themselues ill 7489 z8689 in their doings. 4611

3:5 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 concerning x5921 the Prophets 5030 that make x853 my people 5971 erre, 8582 z8688 that bite 5391 z8802 with their teeth 8127 and crie; 7121 z8804 Peace: 7965 and he that x834 putteth 5414 z8799 not x3808 into x5921 their mouths, 6310 they euen prepare 6942 z8765 warre 4421 against x5921 him:

3:6 Therefore x3651 night 3915 [shall be] vnto you, that yee shall not haue a vision, 2377 x4480 and it shall be darke 2821 z8675 z8804 vnto you, that yee shall not diuine, 7080 z8800 x4480 and the Sunne 8121 shall goe downe 935 z8804 ouer x5921 the Prophets, 5030 and the day 3117 shall be darke 6937 z8804 ouer x5921 them.

3:7 Then shall the seers 2374 be ashamed, 954 z8804 and the diuiners 7080 z8802 confounded: 2659 z8804 yea, they shall all x3605 couer 5844 z8804 x5921 their lips; 8222 for x3588 [there is] no x369 answere 4617 of God. 430

3:8 ¶ But truely 199 I x595 am full 4390 z8804 of power 3581 by x854 the spirit 7307 of the LORD, 3068 and of iudgment 4941 and of might, 1369 to declare 5046 z8687 vnto Iacob 3290 his transgression, 6588 and to Israel 3478 his sinne. 2403

3:9 Heare 8085 z8798 this, x2063 I pray you, x4994 yee heads 7218 of the house 1004 of Iacob, 3290 and princes 7101 of the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 that abhorre 8581 z8764 iudgement 4941 and peruert 6140 z8762 all x3605 equitie. 3477

3:10 They build vp 1129 z8802 Zion 6726 with blood, 1818 and Ierusalem 3389 with iniquitie. 5766

3:11 The heads 7218 thereof iudge 8199 z8799 for reward, 7810 and the priests 3548 thereof teach 3384 z8686 for hyre, 4242 and the Prophets 5030 thereof diuine 7080 z8799 for money: 3701 yet will they leane 8172 z8735 vpon x5921 the LORD, 3068 and say; 559 z8800 Is not x3808 the LORD 3068 among 7130 vs? none x3808 euill 7451 can come 935 z8799 vpon x5921 vs.

3:12 Therefore x3651 shall Zion 6726 for your sake 1558 be plowed 2790 z8735 [as] a field, 7704 and Ierusalem 3389 shal become x1961 heapes, 5856 and the mountaine 2022 of the house, 1004 as the high places 1116 of the forrest. 3293
