7Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,


In Context

4 For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;

5 but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.

6 Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.

7 Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,

8 seek him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name);

9 that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
