1. And I said, Hear, I pray you, O princes of Jacob, and ye heads of the house of Israel. Did it not pertain to you to know that which is right?
2. Who hate the good, and love the evil, who steal their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3. and eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones and chop them in pieces as for the pot and as flesh within the caldron.
4. Then they shall cry unto the Lord, but he will not respond to them: he will even hide his face from them at that time because of their evil doings.
