Whoever says to the guilty,“ You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.

A curse will fall on those who say the guilty are not guilty. Nations will ask for bad things to happen to them. People will speak against them.

Whoever says to the wicked,“ You are in the right,” will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,

A judge who says to the wicked,“ You are innocent,” will be cursed by many people and denounced by the nations.

Whoever says to the guilty,“ You are innocent”— peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;

One who says to the wicked,“ You are righteous,” Peoples will curse him, nations will scold him;

He who says to the wicked,“ You are righteous,” Him the people will curse; Nations will abhor him.

He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;

The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent– both of them are an abomination to the LORD.

People will curse the one who withholds grain, but they will praise the one who sells it.

They pronounce the guilty innocent for a payoff, they ignore the just cause of the innocent.

“ You must not turn away justice for your poor people in their lawsuits.Keep your distance from a false charge– do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

“ They will go out and observe the corpses of those who rebelled against me, for the maggots that eat them will not die, and the fire that consumes them will not die out. All people will find the sight abhorrent.”

So I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least important to the most important of them, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. Prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.They offer only superficial help for the hurt my dear people have suffered. They say,“ Everything will be all right!” But everything is not all right!

This is because you have disheartened the righteous person with lies( although I have not grieved him), and because you have encouraged the wicked person not to turn from his evil conduct and preserve his life.

Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you are found guilty.

Those who call evil good and good evil are as good as dead, who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter.

The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses.

“ That is because, from the least important to the most important of them, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. Prophets and priests alike, all of them practice deceit.They offer only superficial help for the harm my people have suffered. They say,‘ Everything will be all right!’ But everything is not all right!
