Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
