“Then all of you approached me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, that they may search out the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we should go up and the cities which we shall enter.’
“But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive today, every one of you.
“You stand today, all of you, before the Lord your God: your chiefs, your tribes, your elders and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
He commanded them, saying, “See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
“Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your advice and counsel here.”
“For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day.”
“But you smear with lies;
You are all worthless physicians.
“I have heard many such things;
Sorry comforters are you all.
“Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you act foolishly?
How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?
I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
“Assemble, all of you, and listen!
Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him; he will carry out His good pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm will be against the Chaldeans.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with firebrands,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the brands you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will lie down in torment.
“Why do you contend with Me?
You have all transgressed against Me,” declares the Lord.
“Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘Because all of you have become dross, therefore, behold, I am going to gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
