24:005:026 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he
that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
24:005:027 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of
deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
24:005:028 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
24:005:029 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
24:005:030 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
24:005:031 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
24:006:001 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
24:006:002 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
24:006:003 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they
shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall
feed every one in his place.
24:006:004 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon.
Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the
evening are stretched out.
