ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:

And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
