31 The prophets prophesy lies,

the priests rule by their own authority,

and my people love it this way.

But what will you do in the end?

31 the prophets prophesy falsely,

and the priests rule at their direction;

my people love to have it so,

but what will you do when the end comes?

31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

and the priests rule with an iron hand.

Worse yet, my people like it that way!

But what will you do when the end comes?

And the priests rule by their own power;

And My people love to have it so.

But what will you do in the end?

and the priests take power into their own hands,

and my people love it this way.

But what will you do when the end comes?

my people love to have it so,

but what will you do when the end comes?
