New International Version (NIV)

13But it happened because of the sins of her prophets

and the iniquities of her priests,

who shed within her

the blood of the righteous.

13Because of the sins of her prophets

And the wrongdoings of her priests,

Who have shed in her midst

The blood of the righteous,

13Because of the sins of her prophets

And the iniquities of her priests,

Who have shed in her midst

The blood of the righteous;

13Because of the sins of her [counterfeit] prophets

And the wickedness of her [unfaithful] priests,

Who have shed in her midst

The blood of the just and righteous;

13But this was for the sins of her prophets

and the guilt of her priests,

who shed the blood of the righteous

in her midst.

13It happened because Jerusalem’s prophets had sinned.

Her priests had done evil things.

All of them spilled the blood

of those who did what was right.
