¶ Agaynst the tyranny of Prynces, and false Prophetes▪

CAPI. III.

HEare / O ye heades of the house of Ia∣cob, [unspec A] & ye leders of the house of Israell: Shuld not ye knowe, what were lawefull and ryght? But ye hate the good / and loue the euyll: ye plucke of mennes skynnes, and the flessh from theyr bones: ye eate the flessh of my people, & flaye of theyr skynne / ye brea¦ke theyr bones / ye choppe thē in peces as it were into a cauldron, & as fleshe into a p••t. Nowe the tyme shal come / that when they call vnto the Lorde / he shall not heare them but hyde his face from them / because that [unspec B] thorow theyr owne Imaginaciōs they haue dealte so wyckedly.

And as concernynge the Prophetes that dysceyue my people, thus the Lorde sayeth agaynst them. ‡ Whē they haue any chynge to byte vpon, then they preache that al shal∣be wel: but if a man put not some thynge in∣to theyr mouthes / they preache of warre agaynst him.

Therfore your vysyon shalbe turned to nyght / & youre prohe••yenge to darckenesse. [unspec C] The Sunne shall go downe ouer those pro¦phetes / & the day shalbe darcke vnto them. Then shal the visyon seers be ashamed / and the sothsayers confounded / yee / they shalbe fayne all the packe of them / to stoppe theyr mouthes / for they haue not Gods worde. As for me / I am ful of strength, & of y^• sprete of the Lorde, full of iudgement, & boldnesse: to shew the house of Iacob their wyckednes and the house of Israel theyr synne.

O heare this ye rulers of the house of Ia∣cob, [unspec D] & ye iudges of y^• house of Israel, ye that abhorre the thynge that is laufull, & wrest e asyde the thyng that is streight. Ye y^• buyl∣de vp Sion with bloude, and Ierusalem w^t doynge wronge. ‡ O ye iudges, ye geue sen∣tence for gyftes: O ye preastes / ye teache for lucre. O ye Prophetes, ye prophecy for mo¦ny. Yet wyll they be takē as those that holde vpon god, and say: Is not the Lord among vs? Tush / there can no mysfortune happen vs. Therfore shall Sion for youre sakes) be plowed lyke a felde ‡ Ierusalem shall be∣come an heape of stones / and the hyll of the temple shalbe turned to an hye wodd.
