²⁶ Os seus sacerdotes violentam a minha lei, e profanam as minhas coisas santas; não fazem diferença entre o santo e o profano, nem ensinam a discernir entre o impuro e o puro; e de meus sábados escondem os seus olhos, e assim sou profanado no meio deles.

¹² Pois os ricos da cidade estão cheios de violência, e os seus habitantes falam mentiras, e a lingua deles é enganosa na sua boca.

⁷ I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved [them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn't return from their ways.

⁸ Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.

⁹ She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says Yahweh.
