31 The prophets themselves actually prophesy in falsehood;+ and as for the priests, they go subduing according to their powers.*+ And my own people have loved [it] that way;+ and what will YOU men do in the finale of it?”+

13 “For from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, every one is making for himself unjust gain;+ and from the prophet even to the priest, each one is acting falsely.+

9 And as in the lying in wait for a man,*+ the association of priests are marauding bands.+ By the wayside they commit murder at Sheʹchem,+ because they have carried on nothing but loose conduct.+
