הַנְּבִיאִ֞ים נִבְּא֣וּ־בַשֶּׁ֗קֶר וְהַכֹּהֲנִים֙ יִרְדּ֣וּ עַל־יְדֵיהֶ֔ם וְעַמִּ֖י אָ֣הֲבוּ כֵ֑ן וּמַֽה־תַּעֲשׂ֖וּ לְאַחֲרִיתָֽהּ׃
hanbiyʾiym nibʾv-basheqer vhakohaniym yirdv ʿal-ydeyhem vʿamiy ʾahabv ken vmah-taʿasv lʾaḥariytah
King James Version (KJV)

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love {to have it} so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? {bear...: or, take into their hands}

Modern English

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?
