10 who build Zion through bloodshed
    and Jerusalem through wickedness.
11 Her leaders accept bribes for favorable judgments,
    her priests render judgments for a fee,
    her prophets practice divination for money.
And yet they rely upon the Lord, saying,
    “Isn’t the Lord in our midst?
    No harm can come upon us.”
12 Therefore, because of you,
    Zion will be plowed like a field.
Jerusalem will be reduced to a heap of rubble,
    and the temple mount to a height
    overgrown with thickets.
