Go, and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, Visiting I have visited you and have seen what is done to you in Egypt.
Your rulers are rebelling and are companions of thieves. Everyone loves a present, and is pursuing bribes. They do not judge the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
They have become fat; they shine. Yea, they pass over the deeds of the evil one; they do not judge the cause of the orphan, that they may prosper. And they do not judge the right of the needy ones.
Hear this, O priests, and attend, house of Israel. And give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare to Mizpeh, and a net spread on Tabor.
