[verse 2] Wher it be ȝour for to wite dom, whiche han in hate good, and louen yuel? Whiche violentli taken awey the skinnis of hem fro aboue hem, and the fleshe of hem fro aboue the bonys of hem. [verse 3] Whiche eeten fleshe of my peple, and hildiden, or flewen, the skyn of hem fro aboue; and braken to gydre the bonys of hem, and kittiden to gydre as in a cawdroun, and as fleshe in the mydil of a pott. [verse 4] Thanne thei shuln crye to the Lord, and he shal not heer [heer to effect K pr. m.] hem; and he shal hijde his face fro hem in that tyme, as thei diden wick|idly in her fyndyngus. [verse 5] These thingus saith the Lord on the prophetis that dis|ceyuen my peple, and biten with her teeth, and prechen pees; and ȝif eny man shal not ȝeue in the mouth of hem eny thing, thei halewyn bateyle on hym. [verse 6] Therfore niȝt shal be to ȝou for visioun, or prophecie, and derknessis to ȝou for dyuynacioun; and the sunne shal go doun on the prophetis, and the day shal be maad derk on hem. [verse 7] And thei shuln be confoundid that seen visiouns, and dy|uynours shuln be confoundid, and alle shuln hille her cheeris, for it is not the answere of God. [verse 8] Netheles Y am fulfillid with strengthe of Spirit of the Lord, in dom and vertu, that Y shewe to Jacob his grete trespas, and to Yrael his synne. [verse 9] Heere ȝe these thingis, ȝe princis of the hous of Jacob, and domysmen of the hous of Yrael, whiche wlaten dom, and per|uerten [verse 10] alle riȝt thingus; whiche beelden Syon in blodis, and Jerusalem in wickid|nesse. [verse 11] Princis therof demyden in ȝiftus, and the prestis therof tauȝten in hijre, and prophetis therof dyuynyden in money; and on the Lord thei restiden, sayinge, Wher not the Lord in the mydil of vs? yuels shuln not cume on vs. [verse 12] For this thing by cause of ȝou, Syon as a feeld shal be eryd; and Jerusalem shal be as an heep of stoons, and the hill of the temple in to heeȝ thingus of wodys.
