Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the L ORD , and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. 9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

To cover it, therefore, was a token of shame and sorrow (Le 13:45; "They shall be so ashamed of themselves as not to dare to open their mouths or boast of the name of prophet" [CALVIN]. there is no answer of God--They shall no more profess to have responses from God, being struck dumb with calamities (Mic 3:6).
