They are a rebellious people,
    deceitful children,
children who refuse to listen
    to the instruction of the Lord.
10 To the seers they say,
    “Cease to have visions!”
To the prophets they demand,
    “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
    reveal to us pleasant things; prophesy illusions.
11 Cease with your warnings;
    turn aside from the straight path.
We wish to hear nothing further
    about the Holy One of Israel.”
