Shall I not visit these things, saith the LORD? Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? as if he had said, I will be most certainly, and severely revenged of it. A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the Land, the Prophets prophecy ⟨p. 75⟩falsely, and the Priests bear rule by their means, and my people love to have it so. And what will you do in the end thereof? Mich. 3.9, 10, 11, 12. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and Princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgement, and pervert all equity. They build up Stone with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the Priests thereof teach for hire; and the Prophets thereof divine for money, yet will they leave upon the LORD, and say, is not the LORD amongst us? None evil can come upon us. Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed up as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountains of the house as the high places of the forrest.
