9 Her gates have sunk down into the earth.+

He has destroyed and broken her bars.

Her king and her princes are among the nations.+

There is no law;* even her prophets find no vision from Jehovah.+

3 “Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Are you coming to inquire of me? ‘As surely as I am alive, I will not respond to your inquiry,’+ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”’
