5. You lying prophets promisesecurity for anyonewho gives you food,but disaster for anyonewho refuses to feed you.Here is what the Lord saysto you prophets:
6. “You will live in the dark,far from the sight of the sun,with no message from me.
7. You prophets and fortune-tellerswill all be disgraced,with no message from me.”
8. But the Lord has filled mewith power and his Spirit.I have been given the courageto speak about justiceand to tell you people of Israelthat you have sinned.
9. So listen to my message,you rulers of Israel!You hate justiceand twist the truth.
