“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”

New International Reader’s Version (NIrV)
11Your judges take money from people
who want special favors.
Your priests teach only if they get paid for it.
Your prophets won’t tell fortunes
unless they receive money.
But you still look for the Lord’s help.
You say, “The Lord is with us.
No trouble will come on us.”
