4 Her prophets are crazed; men without faith. Her priests have polluted what is holy; they have acted unjustly against the law.

7 I said: Nevertheless, you will fear me; you will accept discipline. And her dwelling place will not perish, despite all the things about which I have visited her. Yet truly, they arose with the dawn and corrupted all their thoughts.
