Rulers and Prophets Denounced

^eHear, you heads of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel!
^fIs it not for you to know justice?—
2 you ^gwho hate the good and love the evil,
^hwho tear the skin from off my people ^{▼▼Hebrew from off them}
and their flesh from off their bones,
3 ^jwho eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.

but he will not answer them;
^lhe will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.
