כִּכְלוּב מָלֵא עוֹף כֵּן בָּתֵּיהֶם מְלֵאִים מִרְמָה עַל־כֵּן גָּדְלוּ וַֽיַּעֲשִֽׁירוּ
As a cage is full of birds, So are their houses full of deceit; Therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;
שָׁמְנוּ עָשְׁתוּ גַּם עָֽבְרוּ דִבְרֵי־רָע דִּין לֹא־דָנוּ דִּין יָתוֹם וְיַצְלִיחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיוֹנִים לֹא שָׁפָֽטוּ
They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; Yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; They plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, That they might make it to prosper; And the right of the needy do they not judge.
הַֽעַל־אֵלֶּה לֹֽא־אֶפְקֹד נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אִם בְּגוֹי אֲשֶׁר־כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִֽׁי
Shall I not punish for these things? Saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged On such a nation as this?
שַׁמָּה וְשַׁעֲרוּרָה נִהְיְתָה בָּאָֽרֶץ
An appalling and horrible thing Is come to pass in the land:
הַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאוּ־בַשֶּׁקֶר וְהַכֹּהֲנִים יִרְדּוּ עַל־יְדֵיהֶם וְעַמִּי אָהֲבוּ כֵן וּמַֽה־תַּעֲשׂוּ לְאַחֲרִיתָֽהּ
The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, And the priests bear rule at their beck; And My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?
