“Hear now, O heads of Jacob,
And you ^(A)rulers of the house of Israel:
^(B)Is it not for you to know justice?
² You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from ^[a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
³ Who also ^(C)eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
^(D)Like flesh in the caldron.”

¹⁷ “Woe^(A) to the worthless shepherd,
Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm
And against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither,
And his right eye shall be totally blinded.”
