Seers [a] will be put to shame.
Those who practice witchcraft will be disgraced.
All of them will cover their faces, because God won’t answer them.

But I am filled with the power of the Lord’s Spirit,
with justice, and with strength.

you rulers of the nation of Israel.
You despise justice and pervert everything that is right.
