10 you who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
11 Her leaders render verdicts for a bribe,
    and her priests issue rulings for a payoff.
    Her prophets foretell the future for silver,

    Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins,
    and the Temple Mount will become a wooded hill.
