3:4Her prophets are proud;11
they are deceitful men.
Her priests defile what is holy;12
they break God’s laws.13
Footnotes
- 11 Applied to prophets, the word פֹּחֲזִים (pokhazim, “proud”) probably refers to their audacity in passing off their own words as genuine prophecies from the Lord (see Jer 23:32).
- 12 Or “defile the temple.” These priests defile what is holy by not observing the proper distinctions between what is ritually clean and unclean (see Ezek 22:26).
- 13 Heb “they treat violently [the] law.”
