The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

Ihre Häupter richten um Geschenke, ihre Priester lehren um Lohn, und ihre Propheten wahrsagen um Geld, verlassen sich auf den HERRN und sprechen: Ist nicht der HERR unter uns? Es kann kein Unglück über uns kommen.
Sus cabezas juzgan por cohecho, y sus sacerdotes enseñan por precio, y sus profetas adivinan por dinero; y apóyanse en Jehová diciendo: ¿no está Jehová entre nosotros? No vendrá mal sobre nosotros.
Sus jefes juzgan por soborno, sus sacerdotes enseñan por precio y sus profetas adivinan por dinero. Se apoyan en Jehová, diciendo: «¿No está Jehová en medio de nosotros? No nos sobrevendrá desgracia alguna».
Ses chefs jugent pour des présents, Ses sacrificateurs enseignent pour un salaire, Et ses prophètes prédisent pour de l'argent; Et ils osent s'appuyer sur l'Eternel, ils disent: L'Eternel n'est-il pas au milieu de nous? Le malheur ne nous atteindra pas.
I capi d’essa giudicano per presenti, e i suoi sacerdoti insegnano per prezzo, e i suoi profeti indovinano per danari; e pure ancora si appoggiano in sul Signore, dicendo: Non è il Signore nel mezzo di noi? male alcuno non ci sopraggiungerà.
Os seus chefes dão as sentenças por suborno, e os seus sacerdotes ensinam por interesse, e os seus profetas adivinham por dinheiro; e ainda se encostam ao SENHOR, dizendo: Não está o SENHOR no meio de nós? Nenhum mal nos sobrevirá.
城裏的領袖為賄賂行審判, 祭司為酬勞施訓誨, 先知為銀錢行占卜; 他們卻倚賴耶和華,說: 「耶和華不是在我們中間嗎? 災禍必不臨到我們。」
